Chapter 43 Nanke Yimeng

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Chun Yuzun who lived in Guangling.There is a big locust tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves in the courtyard of his house. On a midsummer night, the moon and stars are sparse, the shadow of the tree is whirling, and the evening breeze is blowing. It is a good place to enjoy the shade. On the day of Chunyuzun's birthday, all his relatives and friends came to celebrate his birthday. He was happy for a while and drank a few more glasses.At night, when his relatives and friends were gone, he sat under the locust tree to rest alone with some alcohol, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the dream, he arrived in Dahuai'an Country, just in time for the capital examination, he signed up to enter, and after the three rounds were over, his poems and essays were written very smoothly.When the list was released, he ranked first in high school.Immediately after the palace examination, the emperor saw that Chunyu Zun was born with a good-looking talent and a generous manner, so he personally named him the number one scholar, and betrothed the princess to him as his wife. After marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is very happy.Chun Yuzun was sent by the emperor to serve as the prefect of Nanke County, where he stayed for 20 years.Chun Yuzun often patrolled the counties during his tenure as the prefect, so that the county magistrates of the subordinate counties did not dare to do anything wrong, and he was praised by the local people.The emperor wanted to transfer Chunyu Zun back to the capital for promotion several times. When the local people heard that the prefect Chunyu had resigned, they stopped the horse's head one after another to persuade him to stay.Chun Yuzun was moved by the love and affection of the people, so he had to stay and explain the situation to the emperor on a form.The emperor appreciated Chun Yuzun's political achievements, and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

One year, the enemy invaded, and the general of Dahuai'an State led his army to meet the enemy. He was defeated several times by the enemy.When the news of defeat spread to the capital, the emperor was shocked, and hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.The ministers heard that the front-line military failed repeatedly, and the enemy soldiers approached the capital with unusual ferocity. They all turned pale with fright. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all helpless. The emperor saw the appearance of the minister, and said very angrily: "You usually pamper and enjoy the glory, but if something happens in the court, you will become mouthless gourds, timid and timid, and you will not say a word. ?”

The prime minister immediately recommended Chunyu Zun to the emperor.The emperor immediately ordered Chun Yuzun to lead the country's elite to a decisive battle with the enemy. Chun Yuzun did not dare to delay after receiving the imperial decree, and immediately led his troops to the expedition.It's a pity that he didn't know anything about the art of war. As soon as he came into contact with the enemy soldiers, he was immediately defeated. His soldiers and horses were killed and disarmed.The emperor was furious and removed Chun Yuzun from his post and sent him home.Chunyu Zun screamed angrily, woke up from the dream, but saw the moon on the branches, and the stars twinkling.Only then did he realize that the so-called Nanke County was just the southernmost branch of the locust tree.
