Chapter 68: The Meng brothers met each other, and the sisters all came to the court
The pasture is withered, and there are more than a thousand tents and hundreds of flags in the wilderness. There is no road here, and the journey only depends on the sun, moon and stars. It's really vast and wild. In the desolate atmosphere of late autumn, a caravan-like man came from the south.
They saw the camp set up by the Yanhan army in front of them, and saw the big ridge fluttering, and many people couldn't stop crying.
A "businessman leader" accelerated and rushed to the camp. He was accompanied by two lieutenants sent by the iron gate guard, all of whom raised the flag of the Han army. Before coming to the camp, the guard shouted, "Who are the guests and what's the matter of entering the camp?" The leader answered loudly, "I'm not a guest. I'm General Che Chuerliang. I'm going far by the order of the king, and I'm coming back today!"
It turned out that this was Che Chuerliang, an old friend who was ordered to pick up the general in South China two and a half years ago, and finally returned after 30 months. The general is now the king, and Che Chuerliang has also been promoted to a partial general.
Zhao Jin was talking with the Meng brothers about how to improve the quality of weapons in the camp. Hearing of Che Chuerliang's return, he was very excited and rushed to the account. Che Chuerliang welcomes you. Zhao Jin helped up and held Che Chu Erliang's hand: "I'm finally looking forward to you!" Hard work all the way! How's your job?"
"The king will come with me!" Che Chuerliang led Zhao Jin and galloped out of the camp. Zhao Jin still didn't care about wearing a helmet or hat, and his hair was scattered in the cool breeze.
There are about 200 riders, and there are some horses and camels, which look like a large caravan. In fact, except for a few elite soldiers brought by Che Chuerliang, the rest are Zhao Jin's old friends and followers.
"Brother Warrior!" Those Miao rebels who came from thousands of miles saw Zhao Jin and cried on the ground with excitement. In the middle are Li Yuzhen, Li Yuxiang, Xi Peacock, Long You, Guan Hanqing, Huang Daogu, Zhu Lianxiu, Ku Er and others, many, and a few more unknown faces.
The sound of the wind and the ears of grass are flying. Zhao Jin reunited with his old friend, and the two sides looked at each other. For a moment, he was sad and happy, and choked silently. Zhao Jin saw that the faces of the sisters were a little thin. He couldn't help but feel sorry, painful and grateful. He wanted to comfort them, but he didn't know what to say.
For a long time, Xi Peacock jumped into Zhao's arms first: "Brother, you are so cruel! Without saying a word that day, he left me every time! I'm very annoyed with you!"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm guilty. Give me a break. From now on, I will treat you well again.
Xi Peacock cried when he saw that Zhao Jin had been begging for mercy. Kuer came forward, bowed down at Zhao Jin's feet, called "en gong gong" and burst into tears. Long You came forward and hugged Zhao Yu's arm. Yuzhen and Yuxiang couldn't control it and came forward. Zhao Jin suddenly hugged a lot of people and laughed and cried.
After they hugged each other for a long time, Guan Hanqing saluted in the back and said, "Little Ke, see the king!" Several scribes dressed next to Guan Hanqing bowed down and called out His Majesty.
Zhao Jin hurried forward and helped up one by one and said to Guan Hanqing, "Brother, don't be polite. I'm very glad that you can come to our country without thinking about the remoteness. He asked again, "Who are these?"
Guan Hanqing introduced to Zhao Jin that they were all famous men of the Southern Song Dynasty. After the death of the Song Dynasty, they lived in seclusion. Because they wrote poems and essays against the Yuan Dynasty, they could not settle down in the mainland and fled to Qiongzhou to take refuge, so they made friends with each other. Zhao Jin heard that they had signed up for their names: Zhou Mi, a mountain man from Hua Bhu, Liu Chen Weng, a gentleman from Xuxi, Yu Jingren from Wen Zai, and Wang Yuanliang, a Taoist from Shuiyun.
At this time, a gust of wind came, and everyone's clothes moved. Zhao Jin arched his hand and said to everyone, "It's not convenient to talk here. Please enter the camp. Let's talk about it in detail."
At present, everyone enters the camp. When the sergeant heard that he was an old friend of the king who came from afar, he quickly treated him attentively. Fang and Meng brothers accompanied Guan Hanqing and other scribes to chat; the tiger soldiers accompanied Che Chu Erliang and his party and the Miao rebels to drink; Zhao Zhen came to their big tent with their sisters, Long You, Huang Daogu, Zhu Lianxiu and Ku'er, spread out a few thick blankets, sat on the ground, barbecued and fried tea in the middle, and everyone sat around to say goodbye. Leave the words.
"Aijiao, how are you doing?" Zhao Jin called the nickname of Yuzhen. Yuzhen couldn't help but turn red again. She answered hello and asked, "Your Majesty, are you all right?"
Zhao Jin was moved and said, "I'm fine. You can call me as you are, don't be too distracted. It's fate that I leave you and come here to start a foundation. Don't be surprised. With that, he couldn't help holding the hand of Yuzhen in front of others. Anyway, they were all old friends and there were no outsiders.
Yuzhen smiled slightly. Although she didn't speak, she had already forgiven her heart. Li Yuxiang moved to Zhao Yu's side and said, "Where did my brother come from?" If it's your fault, I won't come."
Long You shouted, "Every time I know that my eldest brother must have a destiny! Follow the big brother this time and never leave!"
Ku'er wiped her tears and said, "The little man's life is miserable, but fortunately he met the benefactor. Don't dislike the villain. The villain is willing to whip and die without regret.
Zhao Jin got up and walked over and patted the bitterness: "Where do I dislike you? Speaking of which, you are still my first soldier! I'm glad you can come here. The hard days are a thing of the past. Don't cry anymore!"
The bitter son burst into tears and laughed, and everyone smiled happily.
There is no end to this narrative. Zhao Jin introduced the situation of his country to them. They heard that Zhao Zhen had created such a huge foundation, how many state governments and how many soldiers and horses there were. They were all overjoyed.
"Brother, you said you hit the horse! How can you learn this good riding skill now? Xi Peacock did not forget what Zhao Jin said to coax her earlier.
"Ah ha! I..." Zhao Yu had to talk nonsense again: "I'm more cultivated now, and I don't go to each other! You don't know, I'm in harmony with everything now! Whether it's a horse, a cow, a sheep, or a dog, it's all harmonious.
He smiled and was happy. Lifei Aiqian Like and Mufei came in one after another and joined the joke harmoniously. Yuzhen and Yuxiang understand that they are Zhao Jin's concubines, but why are they jealous? As a king, my brother must have a concubine. Li Yuxiang is pure-minded and has no idea of competing with others for favor; Li Yuzhen feels that she should be Zhao Jin's unique virtuous assistant, so she doesn't have to put herself in the same position as other concubines and compete with them? It's better for everyone to be friendly and kind, and there will be less idleness and more joy in the future. Therefore, Yuzhen, Yuxiang, Aiqian Like and Chaomila had no grudges. At the beginning, they were very polite to each other, carefully, and gradually became intimate.
How nice it is to be so harmonious!
Unexpectedly, in the evening, an embarrassing thing happened...
Xiao Ruoying returned from hunting and heard that the king's old friend was coming. At the beginning, he was also happy. As the saying goes, "Isn't it happy to have friends coming from afar?" Nomads have a tradition of hospitality. Xiao Ruoyi thought that he was also the master. He brought a few relatives and carried prey and good wine to entertain the king.
This time... the two of them are surprised by each other! Yuzhen and Xiao Ruoyi immediately felt each other's subtlety. Xiao Ruoying saw that Li Yuzhen was sitting next to Zhao Yu, which was very close, and the Yuxiang behind him put her hands on Zhao Yu's shoulders. Yuzhen heard Zhao Yu shout, "A Ruo, you're here."
Zhao Yu shouted and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. But it's all called, and I'm used to calling A Ruo. It's impossible to change the strange name. Zhao Jin's heart beat and hurriedly said to Yuzhen and Yuxiang, "This is the leader of the Khitan Xiao tribe. Lord A Ruo is now my guest."
As soon as Yuzhen thought about it, she knew that Xiao Ruoying was not as simple as the guest, but no matter what, she could not lack the etiquette, so she got up and said, "Dari Yuzhen, I will meet Lord Aruo." Yuxiang also got up with her sister and worked together for ten weeks.
When Xiao Ruoying saw them together, he also smiled and said, "I don't know that the distinguished guests will come. Xiao Ruoying has missed the distance to welcome them. Guanyin slave and the great tragic slave, you all come to see it.
Yuzhen also let Xi Peacock and Long You see Xiao Ruoying. In this way, because they are also Buddhist believers, they can talk to each other a little better. Xiao Ruoying saw that Yuzhen and Yuxiang were sitting on Zhao Jin's right, and she sat on the left. Usually, Xiao Ruoying was quite reserved and refused to get too close to Zhao Jin. At this time, he somehow sat very close.
Zhao Jin was surrounded by three women on both sides and became embarrassed. His Majesty's ease and majesty can't be exerted at this moment.
Xiao Ruoying and Yuzhen talked cordially. This kindness contains infinite meaning.
"You Dali, you believe in Hinayana, don't you?" Xiao Ruoyi, who belongs to the Mahayana sect, smiled and mentioned it.
"It's not a Hinayana. Every time I recite, I read the Buddha Sutra of the The Throne. Yuzhen answered without humility or aura. The Upper Seat is actually Hinayana, but Eastern nations are used to respecting the great and the small as humble, and the Hinayana sounds not as good as Mahayana. Therefore, Yuzhen used the saying of the Theokie, but was unwilling to fall behind in front of Xiao Ruoying.
Zhao Yu had a headache as soon as he heard it and knew that they were already competing secretly. Yan Han has a wide range of races and beliefs, including those who have no faith, believe in primitive religion, believe in Mahayana Buddhism, believe in theravada Buddhism, believe in Lamaism, believe in Islam, believe in Islam Sunniism, believe in Christian Catholicism, believe in Christian Orthodoxy, believe in Chinese traditions Metaphysics... As a king, it is extremely difficult to settle these differences. The only way is to be impartial, advocate tolerance, resolve the contradictions between the sects, and try to make them at peace.
However, the problem of Xiao Ruoyi and Yuzhen is not actually a difference of faith. Buddhists like to be kind to others, and even foreign teachers can tolerate it, not to mention the sects within their religion? They all ** sensed the special status of each other and maintained a kind and generous conversation, but they inevitably began to resist in their hearts...
Zhao Jin resisted between the two sides, like sitting on pins and felt, barely struggled for a while and said with a smile, "This... then... Ajiao and Anu have come to work hard and need a good rest. Ruo, let's talk about it another day, aha..."
It was resolved for a while. What to do in the long run?
"Let's talk about it and think about the old kindness." The sisters and many old friends did not forget Zhao Jin. After thousands of mountains and rivers, they met thousands of miles away. Zhao Jin was overjoyed, but there was also a little trouble.
