Chapter 118
Gandalf's suggestion was still attached to Yuan Shu. After thinking about it, he said, "Please make it clear."
"Lord, if you claim to be emperor, your strength must be stronger than the heroes. At present, your lord doesn't have this strength!"
Yuan Shu waved his hand and shook his head, disapprovingly, "Sir, my strength is not the strongest in the world now. I sit in the rich land of Huainan, with no less than 100,000 elite soldiers in my hand. Who can compete with me in the world?"
"If you want to compete with the lord, I think it's no less than two people at present." Gan Zidao seriously analyzed Yuan Shu: "Cao Cao from Yanzhou and Yuan Shao from Jizhou. Since Cao's capture of Yanzhou, Cao's strength has been booming. Although he is not as good as his master now, his soldiers and horses are no less than tens of thousands, and he has the power of 'taking the emperor to make the princes', which should not be underestimated.
Yuan Shu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Cao Cao, I don't like this treacherous hero. If I inherit the throne, I will be the first to send troops to destroy him.
Gan Zi sighed and was a little helpless. Why did his lord be immortal?
"If the lord thinks that Cao Cao's strength is not enough, then I will ask the lord, what do you think of your cousin Yuan Shao? With the same family situation, your cousin's reputation and strength are slightly better. Can you be the emperor with him?
Yuan Shao is very handsome and treats talents very politely. He is known as the 'Zhou Gong' in the world. Now many famous gentlemen have devoted themselves to his command. In addition to the war in recent years, it has occupied the land of the three counties of Qingzhou and Jizhou successively, and Yuan Shu alone can't compare with it.
"Yuan Shao is just the son of my concubine. If I inherit the throne, can he compete with me? Does he dare to compete with me? I usually call him big brother when I give him face. If it's really based on the generation, I'm the eldest son. Even if I borrow his courage, he doesn't dare to stab me.
At this time, a small school hurried in and said, "Yuan Zhe, two adults Li Feng took you at the door and asked to see the lord. Lord, do you think so?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. So many ministers came to see him in private for no reason. Does this indicate this?
"Please invite the ministers in."
One after another, the ministers came in one by one. Under the leadership of Li Feng and Yuan Zhe, the ministers fell to the ground as soon as they came in.
"Hangtray, my emperor."
Yuan Shu was very happy, but on the surface he still pretended to be surprised. After a little hesitation, he asked in surprise, "I, Yuan Shuzhi, am just a guard. Everyone, why do you call your majesty?"
"Since the Taishou sat in the town of Runan, he first swept away the yellow scarf and the chaotic party and clarified the imperial platform, and then gathered 18-way righteous troops to eliminate Dong Zhuo and other threlent ministers and thieves who poisoned the world. All the monarchs and ministers all clapped their hands and praised them, and the people all looked forward to heaven to praise them. As the saying goes, this great achievement has been ancient times, sonorous and wise and immortal. If Duke Yuan is not in the throne of the emperor, isn't he looking forward to the chaos and governance of his subjects for a long time?
These words were impassioned, and Yuan Shu nodded and moved his heart. Now Yuan Shu has dominated Runan, and now he has been handed over the national jade seal. If he wants to go further, he can only claim the emperor.
Minister Yuan Zhe saw that he still needed to add a fire.
"Hanting has lasted for four hundred years, and its energy has been exhausted. It should have been changed a long time ago, and if the master has also got the jade seal of the transmission of the country, it is the great responsibility of the lord. There are 'the generation of the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao' in the folk songs. Who else is looking at the world today? Who else is more worthy of the throne and emperor than Yuan Gong!"
Yuan Shu came down from his seat and patted Yuan Zhe affectionately. This uncle and nephew's younger brother is still very clever. However, when the emperor made three concessions, this was an ancient ritual, so Pan Feng could not agree to this first 'persuasion' anyway.
"I am extremely moved by Yuan Di's heart." However, Yuan Shu looked sad and hesitated, "However, if all the princes knew that I became emperor, would they hate our family? Will there be a rebellion? Will the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty recognize the new king of our family?
Li Feng smiled and waved his hand to indicate that Yuan Shu didn't have to worry.
"The lord is too worried. Since ancient times, he has been the first to ascend the throne. Let those who do not respect and respect, the lord is now majestic in Runan. Hundreds of thousands of troops should be the crown of the world, and they are rich in the world. Who in the world can stand side by side with them? We occupy the land, and our military strength is the head of the princes. Even if these princes are not convinced, what can they do?"
"Ha ha, ha ha, ha, your heart has been taken by our family. Let's discuss this matter in the future!" Yuan Shu waved his hand with a smile.
The lord did not agree to persuade him to claim the throne. This is expected. If you want to claim the throne, there must be three concessions. However, although the lord did not agree, he did not refuse. If you really don't want to be an emperor, just refuse righteously. You will still discuss it in the future. What else is there to discuss? This is like putting a wind vane with a large palace gate in front of everyone. If anyone can't see it, it's really a fool.
************
Although Cui Zhouping's sister Cui Jiaobao was hungry, in fact, he did not come directly to the table to eat after getting off the boat. Because her brother fell into the water just now, she shouted to save her brother. There was a lot of water splashed on her body. If it was not good for a big man, it would be done to change his clothes, but Aimei is a girl's nature. In addition to changing clothes, he also mend it in the room of the shop for a while.
When she opened the hatch sullenly and saw a man passing by Pan Feng's teeth, she felt empty. He hurriedly asked him, "Hey, is the meal served?"
The soldiers knew that she was Cui Zhouping's sister, and now the master was still polite to Cui Zhouping, so they did not dare to be rude. The soldier quickly saluted and said, "It's Miss Di. My shopkeeper and Lord Cui have begun to eat."
At this time, Pan Feng naturally wanted to hide his identity, so the accompanying personnel also changed his name to 'shop' instead of 'master'.
When Cui Jiaobao heard that they were eating, she didn't call herself. She couldn't help groaning coldly, "Take me there, I'm hungry too."
Cai Wenji was supposed to stand by Pan Feng's side. Pan Feng forced her to sit beside her. At this time, she tasted the crab roe gently while quickly picking the crab meat and gave it to Pan Feng, who swallowed like a cow chewing a peony.
Pan Feng tasted tea, but she took a small mouthful of a bowl of steaming brown sugar ginger soup. The boat swayed gently, and the sound of gentle waves was as if there were no sound, and the cheeks were full of red fat fragrance. It's really comfortable.
Cui Jiaobao got off the big boat and led him down to the side of the boat. Seeing everyone's leisurely appearance, he was even more angry. Without waiting for several people to greet her to sit down, she rudely picked up a seat and sat there.
She was still wearing a robe and men's clothes, but her long hair was scattered and beautiful, which looked very charming and cute, but she picked up a big crab, which was a good match for Pan Feng.
Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "So that's it. Wu Nong's soft words. It's sweet and glutinous, but it really sounds good. Suzhou and Hangzhou women's speeches have always been soft, sweet and pleasant. Some people say that listening to their quarrels is a kind of enjoyment.
Pan Feng smiled and said, "Is that right? Ah, I've been to Hangzhou once, but it's been many years... Er... In the past, I was in a hurry, but I didn't taste the customs of this street and alley.
Cui Jiaobao nibbled on the crab and listened to their eyebrows. His brother's rumble came again. He couldn't help humming coldly, "I think shopkeeper Pan also has something to do this time. Otherwise, will he really take these dozen people to the alley to listen to the girls chatting?"
Pan Feng was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but Cai Wenji smiled.
As soon as Cui Zhouping saw his sister coming, he quickly changed the topic and said, "In fact, of course, adults went to see the scenery and appreciate the scenery of Jiangnan Water Village. There are many different scenery in Jingzhou, and the first recommendation is the ten views of the West Lake. There are many legends about the scenery on the edge of the West Lake, and the most famous is the Leifeng Tower.
When Cui Zhouping saw his sister coming, he dared not talk about the characteristics of Jiangnan women and told mythical stories instead. Of course, Pan Feng knows the story of Leifeng Tower, but didn't the incident of Leifeng Tower happen during the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty? Why is it spreading now? Pan Feng wants to hear how this story is different from what he hears in modern times.
From his mouth, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, there was a thousand-year-old white snake demon and a fairy in the West Lake. In the rain, he met a businessman named Lv Buwei. As a result, the two became husband and wife, but the white snake and herring were all goblins. They did not know the etiquette of the world and often lost Lv Buwei's face. The face embarrassed him.
Fortunately, Master Xuankong, a Taoist monk in Jinshan Temple, saw through the original shape of the second demon land and handed over a bowl with mana power to Lv Buwei. Xu Xian covered the head of the second demon with a bowl when they were unprepared. The second demon appeared in its original form and was captured by Master Xuankong. The herring tried to escape and was beaten back to its original shape by Master Xuankong. The white snake was suppressed by the monk. Under the Leifeng Tower, there will never be a super birth.
After speaking, he laughed and said, "Master Xuankong also left a sermon: 'The West Lake is dry, the rivers and lakes can't afford it, the Leifeng Tower fell, and the white snake was born.' How can the water in the West Lake dry? Therefore, the white snake demon can only suffer under the Leifeng Tower forever.
The senior monk Lv Buwei rescued him. From then on, he changed his mind and practiced good deeds and accumulated virtue. Later, he married and had children. He got rid of his identity as a merchant and became the prime minister of the State of Qin. Later, his son also became the king of the State of Qin, that is, the later Yingzheng, the First Emperor of Qin.
Dun Cui Jiaobao heard this and said angrily, "That Lv Buwei is too heartless, although the white snake is a goblin. He is in love with each other and has never harmed him. He doesn't like other people's behavior and should also think about the feelings of husband and wife to let him leave. How can he help the evil monk make his wife suffer under the Leifeng Tower, but he stops his wife and marries again. What kind of children and grandchildren are full of glory and wealth? Is this still reasonable?
This story is indeed different from the modern version, but Pan Feng is not very strange. She thinks that the ending of this myth and legend is not necessarily beautiful, but in line with the values at that time. Every era will be polished by the writers of that time. I don't know how many generations have improved it before a version seen by future generations.
