Chapter 119
Cui Zhouping obviously didn't expect that he would be scolded by his sister for telling a story. He couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Little sister, this is just a myth and legend, and it's not true. What's your name for him?"
This legend is indeed too far from what has been passed down in later generations. Pan Feng also said the version she knew on a whim. The classic storylines in The Legend of White Snake, such as the birth of two snakes, the meeting of broken bridges, theft of grass in Xianshan, the flood of gold mountains, and the escape of Fahai, have been told how many times more moved than Cui Zhouping's. Cui Jiaobao couldn't help listening to it with relish, and even Cai Wenji obviously fell into the ups and downs of the storyline.
Cai Wenji can't help but be moved by this story. She has been willing to read these mythical stories since she was a child, but this version of The Legend of the White Snake is terrible and has never heard of it. Then there was a faint candlelight in the room. She pretended to look at Pan Feng inadvertently. He thought to himself, "The white snake feels Xu Xian's saving grace, but dares to turn into a person and marry a wife, and I'm just the slave around him. In terms of identity, it is very similar to the green snake, and in the end, it failed to achieve good results with a lover." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but decline. Is he the true destiny of his life?
"A lover finally gets married, which is a satisfactory ending. I don't know how much better than my brother's story." Cui Jiaobao pouted and made a grimace like her brother, "What kind of fame, Li Lu, princes and generals don't care. As long as there is a husband who is good to him, it's true. I look at this white lady! Although she went through a lot of hardships, she finally achieved the right result with Xu Xian, and it was not in vain for her pains.
Cai Wenji couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. She thought that no matter how capricious or lost her temper, he could tolerate herself. Is this good for yourself? Thinking of this, Cai Wenji felt a trace of sweetness in her heart. Every time she was with him, she felt relaxed, coquettish, slightly angry and laughing... Everything was so natural, and her heart was relaxed. Isn't it not love?
************
It has been a while since Pan Feng left Hanzhong. At this moment, there has been a lot of rumors in Hanzhong, which may be caused by the insting and guidance of people, and the spearheads are pointed at Tian Feng one after another.
There are rumors in various versions. One version is that Pan Feng was imprisoned by Tian Feng, and the powerful minister Tian Feng is now in power, which is unfavorable to the lord.
The second version is that Pan Feng died of a serious illness and has long died. Now the illness is that Tian Feng, a powerful minister, wants to take over Hanzhong in order to stabilize the situation and announce the truth.
The third version is the most serious. Tian Feng, a powerful minister, has a disrespectful heart and has murdered his master Pan Feng to replace him.
Although these rumors have caused substantial harm, they have now begun to affect the hearts of the army and the people, and there has been small-scale defection in the newly recruited 'Hanzhong soldiers'. This is not a good omen. Pang Tong and Tian Feng are busy with this matter.
In fact, this is not a smart skill. If Pan Feng comes out for a walk to prove that she is 'lively', this rumor will naturally not be broken. However, Pan Feng is not in Hanzhong now, and his whereabouts are not easy to disclose. If he knows that he is not in Hanzhong, I'm afraid that this news will be used by some people and will be detrimental to his master.
There is no medical problem after a long illness. That's the truth. Liu Zhang of Sichuan is now ready to move, as if there is a little wind and grass in Hanzhong, the front will only point to Hanzhong.
In the official office, Tian Feng and Pang Tong also looked at each other with a bitter smile and had no choice. Sitting in the room, two cups of tea, the chess game in front of him has become a decoration, and no one has the intention to put it on it. Relatively, there are only two dissatisfied and sad faces.
Just when the two were in trouble, the guards outside the door suddenly came in and knelt on the ground and said, "Two military divisions, General Diao Chan, the commander of the female barracks, has arrived."
"Is Madam coming?" Pang Tong muttered, and Tian Feng also looked puzzled. He didn't know what his wife was looking for them at this time. Is it for the gossip on the street? For Diao Chan, the two did not dare to neglect, so they stood up from their chairs and prepared to welcome each other.
At the beginning of the first component women's barracks, the high-level officials in Hanzhong caused an uproar! Since the opening of Pangu, it has been above male power. How can a woman be an official to rule the world? However, Tian Feng and Pang Tong did not oppose to stop it. In addition, Pan Feng's strong suppression, and finally the opposition speech gradually disappeared.
In fact, Tian Feng and Pang Tong did not want to object, and they were stunned by the master's strange ideas one after another. Before they could react and object, there was news that their master was going to Jingzhou. At this time, they still had to take care of the women's barracks, and successively wrote letters to dissuade Pan Feng from taking risks. At this time, even if all the female family in Pan Fengcheng's master's mansion became officials, I'm afraid they could not provoke much opposition.
"Madam, I don't know what's going on?" Pang Tong bent down and held his fist to salute, and also explored the mouth of Diao Chan by the way.
Diao Chan smiled charmingly, and for a moment, the spring breeze filled the room. Tian Feng, who had always been unmoved by women, couldn't help but be a little stunned. Fortunately, he soon woke up and pushed Pang Unification by the way.
"With the wisdom of the two military masters, can't you guess the little woman's thoughts?" Diao Chan's beautiful eyes bent into a moon's teeth, which seemed to contain many other meanings: "Now everyone on the street knows about my husband's departure from Hanzhong. I don't know what the two military divisions think of this matter."
Pang Tong and Tian Feng couldn't help smiling bitterly. It was really not a good thing, but it came for this purpose. Tian Feng thought for a moment, and there were not many people who knew the inside story about the lord's departure from Hanzhong. Except for Zhang Baiqi and him, I'm afraid they are two wives, and I'm afraid there is a traitor in this leaking news. The two ladies are like glue to the master, and they will certainly not betray the master, and it is even more impossible for themselves and Zhang Baiqi. They are all the old people who have followed the master all the way to win this foundation. Naturally, their loyalty is unquestionable.
On the contrary, Pang Tong is not. After all, he was a monk halfway. The last time the lord left Chang'an, he showed signs of grabing power. Before defecting to the lord, he also put forward a sinister plan like Zhang Lu who had flooded the city. If it hadn't been for the master's cleverness, I'm afraid he would have died without a whole body now.
Tian Feng couldn't help but doubt Pang Tong, but he did not show it on the surface. At this moment, the lord is not here, so he is afraid of internal chaos. If there is an internal chaos, people's hearts are unstable. I'm afraid that those coveted princes outside Hanzhong will definitely jump on like mad dogs...
"Milit and I are also worried about this matter now. There has been a phenomenon of soldiers defecting within our army. Fortunately, General Liao and General Wei have governed the army well. Even if it is stopped, there has been no large-scale defection." When saying this, Tian Feng has been quietly observing Pang Tong's face, but Pang Tong's face did not change, and there was no special expression, and Tian Feng did not see anything.
"Ye, that's good. I'm relieved." Not to mention, Diao Chan wears armor and really smells like a heroine. "Now the people in Hanzhong are unstable. Since my husband has left, the eldest son should temporarily take over the affairs. However, now that my husband doesn't have a son, he would have wanted to take over and temporarily command the counties in Hanzhong. The two military divisions have no problem!"
Diao Chan does not love to fight for power and profit, but it is really not reassuring to have such a husband, especially the gossip on the street now. What's more, he was worried. The last time my husband took back himself in Chang'an, he was blocked from returning to Yangping Pass. If it hadn't been for the warrior who protected the central lord, I'm afraid that this good foundation would have been taken away.
For Hanzhong and for her husband, Diao Chan is going to make a guest appearance as Empress Dowager Dou. She may not win the name of a virtuous person, but at least she should keep this foundation for her husband.
"This..." Tian Feng was a little hesitant. After all, there has been no reason for women to be in power since ancient times. In the early Han Dynasty, Lu Hou had autocracy and made a good piece of country under Emperor Gaozu. But Tian Feng thought about it. After all, there is also an example like Empress Dowager Dou, and he is not a rigid person. Now Hanzhong is full of doubts, and I'm afraid it will change. I'm afraid that it's difficult to deal with it alone. It may not be a good thing to push your wife to the front desk.
However, Tian Feng still came up with the intention of teaching Diao Chan. He thought for a moment and said, "Madam, now Hanzhong is in chaos. I don't know what good strategy you have to solve the current predicament?"
Diao Chan's crescent eyes show a sense of perseverance. She said slowly, "Use the heavy scriptures in troubled times. For those who spread rumors, there is no forgiveness."
These words couldn't help moving the two resourceful military masters, Pang Tong and Tian Feng. Even if they were clever, they didn't expect the delicate-looking lady to have such a decisive mind.
It was indeed a wise move to use the heavy code in troubled times. Tian Feng did not say anything to stop it, and soon this order was conveyed. For a while, the streets and alleys in Hanzhong City were full of Jizhou veterans who were most loyal to Pan Feng. The whole city was under martial law. For those who spread rumors, their heads were chopped off by fierce soldiers. Although there are many complaints about the bloody storm in the city, it has indeed had a proper effect.
Zhen Mi, who has always been naive and kind, couldn't help but feel pity when she saw the people who kept shouting injustice at the door of the vegetable market. Looking at the heads that had been cut off, how unbearable she was.
"Sister Cicada, these people are just marketers who catch the wind and chew their tongues. Sister, let them go!" Zhen Mi couldn't bear the tragedy, so he dissuaded him.
A trace of doting came out of Diao Chan's eyes, and at the same time, a trace of fierceness appeared. He gently stroked Zhen Mi's three thousand green silks and said slowly, "You are still young. You don't know the lethality of gossip. If I let them go today, they will definitely be more resentful. For our foundation, for Husband, I'd rather win a bad reputation.
