Chapter 157 The sky is high, let the birds fly

The Dragon King’s House is almost considered to be turned upside down, but Qingcang City is not how to make a big fuss, for the city’s displaced people, but also more than a few hundred shiny bald, well-informed some, know that there is a cavalry team of eight hundred people starry night into the city, e guard the Dragon King’s House, this elite cavalry all white horses and white armor with a knife and crossbow, the momentum of the malevolent. Beiliang control Qingcang is an established fact, since there is no massacre, but instead there is a constant influx of materials into the city, many usually priced rare objects, overnight in the Qingcang spring pile up, most of the stragglers will be pushed into the boat to get by, there is no escape of the people out of the city, but the gates are lax, there is no obstruction, after a number of days, a little bit of the family of the Qingcang powerhouse silent Cold-eyed observers, see a peaceful scene in the city, and resentfully returned to the city. Qing Cang in addition to the city gate pots to send porridge, but also in the streets and alleys to post a list of notices, a young scholar surnamed Chen Beiliang temporarily Qing Cang city pastor, Long Wangfu changed into the new state pastor’s residence, Beiliang no longer embargoed salt and iron on the Qing Cang, and the city pastor began to work on the formulation of the household ultimatum, I heard that as long as it is the Qing Cang people who have passed the review will be permitted to enter the three states of the Northern Liang Road the most productive Lingzhou do business, the people who have the heart to smack out of the Spring rain is silent, naturally, some people are sad and some people are happy, but this life will not have the opportunity to wear the dragon robe again Zhou Junchen is very happy, the king of Beiliang is to do things quickly, Beiliang Du Guan Chu Lushan as well as the Secretary of the two hand-approved official documents have been issued to the entire state of Lingshou, if he does not still have to help Chen Chenmu to clean up the mess of Qingcang City, could have been dragged his family to go to the grain silo of the state of Lingshou, Huangnan County, to serve as a governor, this is a real governor, the county is a real governor, the county is a real governor. This county guard is a real fat job, the last chief official Song Yan is now the Lingshu state, clearly a piece of promotion and wealth of wind and water, Zhou Junchen this wall grass is a little good, as long as he does not need to sell his life, outside of the benefits given to him very much, he will be able to pay very much effort, not ambiguous, this half a decade in the city to the unfamiliar Chen Chenmu saddle horse back and forth, it is called a work hard to do everything to bow and do his best, originally one can be Originally, a king who can not early morning of the earth emperor, these days have not slept a few full sleep, turned into a stepmother raised Qingcang soldiers both resentment and fear, sandwiched between the new master and the old part of the middle of Zhou Junchen, is really both as a matchmaker and as a new wife, the fire is full of bubbles, but just like a county guardian of the Lord of the Zhou Junchen self-effacement is good, there is a figure of hope, most of the time, and then shortsightedness shallow, as long as he is allowed to see the future, he is not afraid of tiredness, he is not afraid of the future. As long as he can see the future, he is not afraid to get tired.

Night will fall not yet fall, rushed in the door before the ban, a scholar-like young man in a team of white horse light cavalry escort, alone on the crumbling north wall of the city, to see the hair into the Wudang Huangting Road crown style guy squatting on the city, waist hanging double knife, looking north, the scholar along the line of sight of the knife to the north, the North Mang Gusaizhou, the last year that the one-sided battle, seems to be the Northern Liang Iron Riders surprisingly big victory The scholar knows, just to the North Mang hit pain, far from letting its bones and bones, on the whole is a mixed blessing and a curse, the good thing is that the Gusei state was crushed to a thousand holes, the beacon flints and post road eighty-nine, it is difficult to let the large cavalry swung south, the bad thing is to wake up to the North Mang, the South Dynasty, a few military achievements of the generals will start to re-measure the Liang and Mang two sides of the armed forces in the stomach of the combat, the next war in full swing! The next time the curtain rises, it will be difficult for Northern Liang to drive northward with such ease and with a momentum that is as strong as a bamboo. The young man who was newly appointed as the pastor of Qingcang City walked forward and softly said, “Greetings to the King of Northern Liang.”

Xu Fengyen turned his head and smiled, “Xiliang is here ah, this half a decade to see you are really busy, I didn’t even have the heart to find you for a drink.”

Chen Xiliang smiled, did not how to concur, I am afraid that he and Xu Beihao different places, the latter with His Highness get along with, or with the new Liang Wang stay together, never is the ridicule of the ridicule of the blank stare of the blank stare, from the enlightenment of the fence, Chen Xiliang is different, has always been careful to abide by their own duties, at that time, Xu Chen two of His Highness’s beloved staff of the “parting of ways At that time, Xu Chen’s two trusted advisors “parted ways”, Xu Bei Hoven was sent out to Long Qing County, and Chen Xiliang lived in the royal residence in Qingliang Mountain, living in a side room on the top floor of the Listening to the tide pavilion, and reading all the books, which were all books and notes left behind by Li Yishan. Now the military strategy of Northern Liang, especially the redistribution of military officials, as well as geographically arranged under the fourteen future Northern Liang’s most sought-after power lieutenant, is from Chen Xiliang’s handwriting, but Chen Xiliang out of the cabinet after being granted full authority to dispose of grain into the Liang and salt and iron official camps of the two matters, are not satisfactory, the former is away from the Yang dynasty court under the province of Tantanweng Huan Wen, the main officer personally came out to support the move, deliberately make things difficult for the Northern Liang, Chen Xiliang! Lose is not wrong, but then in Youzhou, even if you can “call” the hands of Youzhou military power Huangfu scale, is still the power of the intertwined “salt” and powerful side by side, so far the ownership of several large salt ponds is still unresolved, which makes many senior officials of the Northern Liang are This makes many Beiliang senior officials scoff, privately laugh at this with the Beimang family Xu Beihao age and together with the mountain of readers, dropped a really cold family no noble son! Then Chen Xiliang was urgently recalled by the new Liang King and thrown into the land of the displaced people, the Qingcang city pastor? As good as any governor in Lingzhou? Isn’t this a clear relegation? Then look back to see Xu Beihao, are already Beiliang civil officials second only to the Secretary Secretary of a state’s chief official! It’s a bit of an exasperating situation to be in.

Xu Fengyen changed a sitting position, hanging his legs outside the wall, his hands patted the hilt of the River Pawn and Chunlei, said: “Cao grain side has been delivered to the Lord Secretary General to personally deal with the Liyang officials, as for the salt pond public and private matters, I know your intentions, thinking of the civil to civil and military to martial arts, to the north of the Liang set new rules, so I would rather touch the wall, do not want to interfere with Huangfu scales, and is bent on a civilian fire, slow stewing. Slowly stewed, a long time to see the success, which is not half a bit of trouble. In fact, the original even if you to the Qing Cang, can also lead this matter, but I still let you no longer intervene, on the one hand, you may not know, the North Mang has decided to hit the western front first, hard to move away from the stinking stone in the pit of Beiliang, Beiliang can not afford to delay, time can not afford to consume, it is not that you are not good at the strategy, but the trend of the trend of the situation, your people and lost to the day and the timing of the time, and then there are the Qing Cang of the weight of the whole of the Beiliang, the importance of the important to the Many Northern Liang generals have not thought about the point. Like Liyang in a few times ate a big loss after the war, the current son of heaven at that time by the wild up and down scolded as under the sky the first one of the loser, the national treasury exhaustion, the previous ten years, the court in many famous ministers and ministers under the blind planning, the entire front south of two hundred miles, abolished many military towns and fortresses, which is of course not all wrong, and even really let the Liyang court to catch their breath, and slowly cultivate and recuperate, and the south of the battle line to be increasingly consolidated, but why Gu Jiantang executive, and the government of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north. But why Gu Jiantang insisted on taking a huge political risk, and was labeled as militaristic by the Imperial Historical Office and the five ministers outside the Ministry of War, and also pushed the battle line northward? According to take care of Jiantang’s intention, the court has eaten nearly half of the empire’s taxes on the long eastern front, not collectively northward, but selectively restore the sixteen majestic military towns, but even with Biyaner’s full support, as well as after Gu Jiantang got the general military and government of the northern part of the enjoinment, but only six were built, and then later, you are also aware of, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Chen Zhi Bao, such a favorite appreciated by the Zhao family son of God, can only go with the small plans of each of the full of the military and political. Can only go with each have a small plan of the dynasty of the civil and military to seize food from the tiger’s mouth, coupled with do not know how to reach an agreement with the blue-eyed child Gu Jiantang, openly half a step back, secretly a big step forward, cut off the new eastern line of some of the suspicion of overlap of the secondary military towns, it is not easy to recover from the mouth of the imperial court in the old eastern line of the ‘six after three towns’, Chen Zhi Bao When he left his post, together, but only to let Gu Jiantang in his mind the perfect eastern line of the big picture finished Kam Kam more than half, this nine swallowed countless gold and silver of the new town, their use, not what a breath to let the North Mang iron cavalry blocked in the north, but the death of the defense, do not want to die of the death of the defense, trying to do with the original Wang Yangming trapped in the city of Xiangfan a line of virtues, their real intention is to let the North Mang have a quick-fighting idea of the North Mang, know that hard to attack, once the detour to the city of the city of Xiangfan. Attack, once detour, their supply line will have to be harassed by these military towns elite cavalry, not to say cut off, the least will be tired to cope with, away from the sun, even if the early defeat, a defeat, the whole of the new eastern line hands, let the North Mang soldiers under the city, all the way to the city of Tai’an, it does not matter, as long as all the feudal kings of the king of the success of the time there are the nine military towns to echo each other, there is a very good hope to let the North Mang have to come back. Of course, many people think that Beimang big deal to eat the old east line of the new military town, but Beimang these years, although learned a lot of Chinese siege tactics, but the bones are still the character of the looters, really want to get off the horse to attack the city, the cost of deaths and injuries is too great, won a battle of a place, lost the world’s big picture, Beimang is basically just a territory of a larger Beiliang, can not afford to consume the time, wait until the western Chu Failure to restore the country, Li Yang cleaned up this group of Spring and Autumn last survivors of the thieves, not only is the financial strength of the Central Plains in the hands of the Zhao room, and even the hearts of the people, are also taken together, that time of the Li Yang, is really to the peak. Well, almost roughly with the Qin of eight hundred years ago, barely have the power to fight.”

Chen Xiliang’s lips pursed up tightly and did not make a sound.

Xu Feng young laughed, “I know that you still have complaints in your heart, and feel that you can’t do both with both hands, but after you say it, I won’t listen to you. Anyway, I am about to leave Qingcang, what you say I pretend not to hear, you finished Qingcang city pastor, no surprise next to do Liuzhou assassin ……”

Chen Xiliang shook his head and interrupted, “I’m a person with low eyesight, I know my own weight, I’m already struggling to govern Qing Cang’s affairs, so I won’t be the assassin of any Liuzhou, and you, the king of Beiliang, also said that Qing Cang is vital to Beiliang’s war front, not to mention encompassing Qing Cang’s Liuzhou, I’m just a smooth talker, I’m even more of a layman at fighting wars, and I’m very afraid of dying and bleeding because of what I’m scheming. As long as I don’t see it, I can still be at peace with myself, but to see the smoke in the line of sight, and have people around me going to their deaths, Chen Xiliang can never do it.”

Xu Fengyen sighed, determined that the idea, ten cows can not pull back the stubbornness, and orange is the same. Xu Fengnian smiled with a self-deprecating face, smiled and said, “If you don’t do it, then don’t do it, I won’t make it difficult for you, not to mention that I’ve got an extra big bait, a state’s assassin, but there are countless people eyeing for a high position. This rectification of the Northern Liang army, the original three states of the Northern Liang Road have let the civilian officials on the position, the civilian governance, the military commander, do not expect to soon complement each other, at least to well water offenses, both sides do not eat too ugly, more than this you do not want to be the assassin, I can let to the loss of the martial arts will be kind, not only the assassin, up and down the top and bottom of the position to be handed over to them to take up the position, as a way of appeasing them. Otherwise you don’t look at the early spring after the school martial arts, the border one by one peacefully, there is no lack of a large number of real power figures are still secretly poking my backbone, are there to borrow wine to kill their sorrows, I heard that the green ants wine but sold much better than in previous years.”

Chen Xiliang smiled heartily, “This Northern Liang King is indeed not good to be. It is also time to use a large number of official positions in Liuzhou to appease the people, and now Beiliang has signs of large-scale appointment of scholars as officials, and encourages scholars to form associations, and also funded the establishment of the major academies, but also to let the Shangyin Palace, as well as Huang Shang, these great giants of the literary world of the Qinglun stream to evaluate the articles, each year from the Beiliang Road, each of the three states assessed three ‘Kui Wen,’ the Yuliang Mausoleum, the winner, regardless of the origin of the poor and common people. The winner, regardless of his or her background, can be directly ranked as an official, the lowest is the eighth grade, which is simply enough to make those who think they are unrecognizable scholarly mad. On the contrary, this group of vested interests in the group of military officials less money into the project, the powers that be to lose power, not only is the mood lost, must have killed the heart of it. Bei Liang King as Bei Liang family head, it’s time to hit a stick and give a date.”

Xu Fengnian nodded.

Chen Xiliang stopped talking.

These two people, met in the Jiangnan Road, the temple of the newspaper that the water flow goblet, Xu Fengyen missed the famous blind man Lu Dang, at least there was no more miss this Jiangnan choleric who was called by Li Yishan only need to be grandiose its pattern.

Chen Xiliang stood on the wall, hands pressed on the coarse uneven mud wall, his face softened a lot, laughed softly: “When Chen Xiliang is just a crazy person who wants to die posthumously, but even the door of the Temple of the newspaper can not get in, not to mention those who sit on the floor of the Temple of the elegant gentleman, is outside the Temple of the wandering playboys can die of blank stares, all day can only be charcoal to draw a dragon to relieve boredom, how can I think that suddenly one day, I will be a good person, and I will not be able to get into the Temple, but I will be a great person. Where can I think of suddenly one day, it is too broad, someone to give me as a state governor, I’m not even happy to do. This life encounter ah, really even this crazy me feel ridiculous, some time early in the morning to wake up, would like to slap yourself twice, only pain, only to believe that it is not a dream. This is not being with a hand holding 300,000 iron horsemen pugnacious feudal king chat gossip, incidentally pointing out the river and mountain? A downtrodden choleric with a belly full of anachronisms can turn into a big shot with a belly full of bravado?”

Xu Fengyen was amused and joked, “I hope that we can have a good reunion, and never let you Chen Xiliang give birth to the feeling that you have met a bad person.”

Chen Xiliang nodded, his fists clenched, resting on the city wall, “I hope I can end up with the King of Northern Liang.”

Xu Fengnian joked, “As for me, I already have two daughters-in-law in name, unlike you, you haven’t started a family yet, and now that you’ve arrived in Qingcang as a leading figure, you can fly as high as the sky.”

Chen Xiliang was confused, “Huh?”

Xu Fengnian pointed at his crotch with a bad smile.

The corner of Chen Xiliang’s mouth twitched, speechless.

Xu Fengyen got up and jumped off the wall, patting Chen Xiliang’s shoulder, “Good men of the jianghu say that people die with their eggs facing the sky, when you are alive, you have to live up to your own bird ah.”

Chen Xiliang laughed it off, did not follow Xu Fengyen to walk down the city, but rare leisure to stand in place, through the afterglow, in a daze, north view of the yellow sand miles.

Chen Xiliang as the authentic native of Jiangnan people, first came to Northern Liang that time, very unaccustomed to the terroir of the northwest of the empire, the twilight here is always late, the sky here always feel higher than the south, here a sprawling desert of yellow sand will be placed in which they feel small, every inch of the land here, were once drenched in blood, and already those who had been day and night and finally dissipate slowly. Wolf smoke. To the north, it is the uncivilized barbarians who are depicted by the Central Plains as only knowing how to drink blood, but in fact, it is a strong enemy that any previous Central Plains dynasty has never seen before. To the east, all the way to the east, is the city of Tai’an, the residence of the Zhao family in Liyang, at this time, Liyang, the king and his ministers and amicable, more and more like the sun, so much so that Chen Xiliang, who likes to read the history of the history of the future, the son of heaven, regardless of whether or not the surname Zhao, are to be convinced by the Spring and Autumn twenty years after the future generations are to be aspiring to, Liyang is another opening of the country in full bloom, with the diligent and tolerant famous in the world of a wise ruler, surrounded by him In the series of famous ministers, the list has a long list of important and famous ministers who are enough to make the hearts of the future generations tremble, Zhang Julu, Huan Wen, Yao Baifeng, Lu Daolin, Gu Jiantang, Chen Zhi Bao, Lu Baijie, Lu Shengxiang, Nalan Yuoci, Zhao Yuling, Yin Maochun,…… and even more, there is Wang Xianzhi of Wudi City, Cao Changqing of the most popular of the Western Chu, and Qi Yanglong of the Shangyin Palace of Learning, all of these characters that Together in the ruins of the Spring and Autumn glittered, the heyday of the weather, eight hundred years unique.

Chen Xiliang subconsciously went to look for Xu Fengnian’s figure, the King of Northern Liang, who was several years younger than him, was long gone.

This person.

Can the sky really be as high as a bird?
