Chapter 060: Half an Inch of Tongue

White dew, twenty-four seasons fifteenth, night grass see dew, geese south to avoid the cold.

Ningzhou Weize County, as the upper county, with two lieutenants, the end of winter last year, the outsider Song Keli to this appointment, powerful banditry, even broke the size of the horse thieves and bandits more than ten places, Ningzhou ringing horse scared, just into the summer, the small Song Lieutenant to Ningzhou assassin’s office without warning to strike off the official position, so far has been idle at home for a few months, the house leakage is the same as the rain, a piece of the original has been roughly negotiated the marriage is also to yellow, the woman The woman is Weize County medium gateway to a small family, not to say that the public family or book of the family’s great lady, compared to the original prospects of the young lieutenant, is the suspicion of climbing, but compared to the body of the white man after the Song Keli, naturally, it is aggrieved. Wedding change, in Weize County did not have too many ripples. After all, Ningzhou is in the south of the capital city, a state old and young are staring at the restoration of Western Chu on the Guangling Road, who cares about a downtrodden scholar’s firewood, rice, oil and salt? Neighborhood good relations, meet will also shout a small Song lieutenant, most people do not like to take care of this not much backing of the officialdom of the dog. Slowly drove out of the alley. The old Confucian directly pushed the door into the house, Song Ke Li is in the courtyard flipping through a trust relationship to come to the imperial residence, after seeing the unimpressive appearance of the Confucian, a face of surprise, put the residence on the stone table, rushed to get up, bowed and saluted: “Late student met Mr. Yuan.”

The visitor is the old Hanlin Yuan Park who is aloof, and it is this Hanlin senior who has a word with him, which is better than reading ten years of saintly books. Song Ke Li almost every day to think carefully about that day in the Hanlin courtyard Mr. Yuan wrote on the rice paper above the words, “the scholar has three disregard, Qi family disregard cultivation, rule of the country disregard Qi family, peace of the world disregard rule of the country.” “The defeat of the world’s families and nations cannot escape the root of the scourge of the word “accumulation”. The rise of the world’s families and countries can’t be separated from the credit of the word Jiejian.” When the whole city of Tai’an was watching their Song family’s jokes, the Song family’s two sons who dominated the literary world and the scholarly world, his grandfather died of anger, his reputation was ruined, his father was relegated to the capital, unable to serve for the rest of his life. And he used to be the Song family phoenix, was also exiled to the poor mountains and water, the Ningzhou Weize County, which is not a tragedy, when he made some performance for the people, first of all, the county government of the high-ranking officials, followed by the Ningzhou assassin’s mansion, there are people successively to suppress him, but this is for the Song Schengeny for the heart and no accumulation of depression, the real Song Schengeny feel bewildered by one thing, those who have been subjected to a short half a year The people who have received many favors from him in just half a year, Song Du Lieutenant, on the contrary, followed those county Yamen colleagues together with the white-eyed mockery. But Song Ke Li does not want to complain with others, except for this Yuan Huangmen Yuan Park. Because Song Ke Li has a bellyful of anachronisms, want to ask for advice with this in the Hanlin Academy themselves do not eat good sir.

Song Ke Li waited for Mr. Yuan to take his seat, and then asked respectfully, “Why did you come to Weize County, sir?”

Yuan Park, who originally liked to write more than talk, picked up the diary, probably read too much, his eyes were not good, carried it a few points higher, carefully browsed through it, and gently put it down before opening his mouth to speak, still vague, “Too many years haven’t left Tai’an City, so I want to go out and have a look.”

Speaking here, the old man said with some emotion, “After Wang Xianzhi walked out of Wudi City, there was a deceased person in Tai’an City who also left.”

Yuan Park looked at Song Ke Li and said right to the point, “Ningzhou horse trouble accumulates, there is a root cause, this is just a piece on the chessboard, not too big not too small, but you a person outsider wants to move the chess piece, the old people who played the chess, will let you die.”

Song Ke Li nodded, relieved, “As I expected, the horse thieves that have swarmed Ning Zhou over the years are that Cao Chang Qing’s fallen pieces.”

Yuan Park blandly said: “Cao Changqing in twenty years, can not be idle, there is also a Western Chu dead between the Zhao hook three handles of the high position, it is this person in seventeen years ago, to be planted in the Guangling Road throughout the military spies, in the early spring of this year this xiangfu yuan year, those who lurked for many years most have been to do the lieutenant lieutenant spies, to be precise, is the three hundred and sixty-seven people, half of the Half of them died violently and half of them became the backbone of the Western Chu rebel army. This hand, is and Zhao hook joint planning more than ten years of the Ministry of War, completely did not expect. Lu Baijie, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is now stretched to the limit, which has a great deal to do with this disaster. Otherwise, where do you think Western Chu has so many elites who can fight to the death once they hit the sand?”

Song Ke Li was stunned.

Yuan Park fingers together on the stone table horizontal wipe a bit, hoarse said: “Bureau divided into large and small, to the large, is to cut the feudal, is to collect the national strength, is the rise of the imperial examinations, is to suppress the martial arts, in the end, is to swallow North Mang, unification of the whole world, to complete eight hundred years of the Qin dynasty has not been done feat, and then one step back, is the someone of the thousand years of the emperor.”

Yuan Park’s finger traced vertically, “Slightly to a lesser extent, it is to force the King of Beiliang to use his entire family to hold back Beimang, it is to confine Gu Jiantang to the northern front, it is a yang conspiracy. Taking the restoration of Western Chu as bait, depleting the strength and ambition of the major vassal kings including the King of Guangling, depleting the local military power of Gu Lu’s lineage, and in this way fishing out the big fish of Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing, who occupies the geographical location and people’s harmony, this is a conspiracy. Two generations of Northern Liang kings, the scary part is that there are 300,000 strong troops, the honorable part is that the father and son hold the power in their hands but won’t rebel, and the pitiful part is that the Liyang court will want your Xu family to dump your family’s money regardless of whether or not you rebel against Northern Liang.”

Yuan Park spread out his palms and wiped them on the desktop, “Life is helpless, just like Xu Snapdragon tried every possible way to kill me, but even though he had 300,000 troops and a set of dead soldiers going to the capital, he was never able to kill them. Just like Cao Changqing empty great wind flow, but bad luck, born in Western Chu. Just like Zhang Julu, bowing and scraping for the well-being of the world’s people, but had to face the current situation of a family world. Just like Xu Fengnian, won the Wang Xianzhi, and then have to face the North Mang millions of iron cavalry. Their helplessness, you Song Ke Li compared, is it bigger or smaller?”

Song Ke Li’s jaw dropped, “Mr. Yuan?”

Yuan Park smiled.

Song Ke Li stood up violently, bowed to the end, and said in fear, “Song Ke worships Mr. Yuan!”

This bow was to pay homage to the Imperial Teacher of Tai’an City, the half-inch tongue “Yuan Benxi”!

Yuan Benxi ignored Song Ke Li’s solemnity and calmly said, “I shouldn’t have seen you so early, but I’ve stayed in that city all my life, and in the early Spring and Autumn period, I was just a nobody, and Xunping’s word was more useful than a few kilograms of my saliva. At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, there was nothing left for me to do. Now that the chessboard has taken root, according to Huang Longshi’s view, the interesting thing about going down to the fields and planting is not to wait at home for a big harvest, but to go to the edge of the field with your own eyes to see the golden color in the rows of fields. And you should not continue to stay in Weize County, may as well join me to see the scene of smoke and mirrors, otherwise we readers just mouth, even if the heart does think of the people’s livelihood of the many hardships, but in the end, even the people in the end is how a suffering are not understand, it is too ridiculous.”

Song Ke Li’s eyes glistened, and he said joyfully, “The late student would like to be Mr. Yuan’s pawn.”

Yuan Benxi nodded and asked, “Just now I saw the woman in the alley, how do you think it compares to that Princess Royal Highness who went out of her way to secretly leave the capital in order to see you?”

Song Ke Li was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

One was a golden branch with outstanding looks, and the other was a small housewife with the appearance of a middle-aged man, how to compare?

Yuan Benxi’s eyes fluttered a little, sighed: “Men and women, some people are good people, good to you, this is naturally fortunate, but it may not be the other side really how much they like you. Some people have poor temperament, willing to change a lot for you, but really like you. The woman surnamed Zhao, willing to risk leaving the capital to find you, but will never abandon the family, to the time when the two take one, will abandon you. The woman in the alleyway of the Liu family name, temperament, but most of the time for you to disregard everything, life and death to follow. People in the world, always think that the status of the characters to pay some, will be grateful, for the parents near at hand to raise, poor friends of the relief, married wife of the husband and raise children, instead of feeling not deep.”

Song Ke Li said with a slight bitterness, “The late student has been taught.”

Yuan Benxi suddenly sat back on the stone bench, “Talking is indeed much more tiring than doing things, bring wine.”

Song Ke Li hurriedly ran to the house to find wine.

Yuan Benxi muttered to himself, “If it is not North Mang, there is North Liang 300,000, how about Western Chu, Zhao Bing Zhao Yi, these clansmen feudal lords and such as can how?”

Yuan Benxi laughed to himself, “I am also helpless.”
