Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Earth Rain
"Mother Wu's story really touched me, woo woo woo..." Gongshu Lingbao looked at her with teary eyes after reading what Long Baiyue wrote on the paper, "This is better than the story I'm acting now, let's make this Would you like to make it into a script?"
In the ward of the Huimin Bureau, Long Baiyue, Gongshu Lingbao and Bao'er were sitting together drinking tea.Gongshu Lingbao and Bao'er gnawed fragrant sweets, Long Baiyue couldn't eat this, but fortunately, Master Zixuan sent her a jar of snow lotus fat honey from Xinzhou, Long Baiyue didn't know that it was a rare item, so I felt that my throat would be chilled after eating, so I ate it with a spoon from time to time.
Long Baiyue can't speak yet, but she actually yelled secretly behind her back, and the voice scared her so much that she would rather become dumb.Long Baiyue tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, took out a piece of paper and picked up a pen and wrote: "Think it over again."
"Yes, first of all, the heroine should be younger. Well, maybe in her twenties..."
Zi Mian and He Lingyun stood on the top of the city and watched, the bleak autumn wind messed up their hair, He Lingyun squinted his eyes and pointed to the north in the dusty sky: "The veterans who have been withdrawn from the front will be back in two days , How to arrange them at that time will be another mess." "Why?" Zi Mian looked to the north, this time he came to the city to look after him, it was a task arranged by Si Tianjian. After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather changed. There was a strong wind in the northwest and the clouds were reddish yellow, and there was a lot of dust in the air.Such abnormal weather foreshadowed some disasters, and Si Tianjian was in a state of panic, so he was ordered to observe the celestial phenomenon and figure out the cause of the phenomenon. "The prime minister and the new political party are fighting fiercely recently. The reason for the large number of retired veterans this time is that the Holy One has adopted the "provincial military law" of the new political party - streamlining the army, eliminating the old and the weak, and merging the barracks. All at once, from the front With so many soldiers withdrawn, how can there be a place to place them?" He Lingyun frowned, "Actually, this is also a good thing, the recruiting system of this dynasty stipulates that soldiers can only be retired at the age of 60, cut it, soldiers who are over 30 years old are useless, retire That's fine too." "Isn't that very good, just let them disarm and return to the fields." Zi Mian continued to observe the sky, looking down at the Book of Changes in his hand from time to time. "It's easy for you to say," He Lingyun said casually, "Where can I get the land for them? Speaking of which, the new political party will implement the 'square land equal tax law' and measure the fields around the capital. Hehe, it's no wonder the prime minister said The second thing is to worry, among the conservative officials, I am afraid that he has concealed the most land." According to the "Fangtian Average Tax Law", the county magistrate must measure the land in September every year, divide it into five grades according to the fertility of the land, and stipulate the tax amount.After the measurement, the land account post will be issued in March of the following year as a "land talisman".The division of property, pawn sale, and relocation are all based on the newly measured acres, which are registered by the government and issued with deeds to restrict bureaucratic landlords from annexing land and concealing land properties and population. Before the Double Ninth Festival, the two factions began to fight for this, and the two sides were in a stalemate. So far, the governor of the capital has not dared to start measuring the land. "My father also disagrees with the actions of the New Deal faction. They want to promulgate the 'Art of War' and promote military officers in the north, making it clear that they don't take us military officers in Beijing seriously." Of course He Lingyun agrees with his father, but is also a little bit resentful Shaking his hair, he lowered his head to pat the dust that fell on his hair, "He has been going to the prime minister's residence for several days to attend a secret meeting." "Why are you telling me this?" Zi Mian finally closed the book in her hand, and raised her head to ask He Lingyun. Zi Mian went up to the tower to observe the sky, and He Lingyun volunteered to bring a team of horses and horses to accompany him. One was for Zi Mian's safety, and the other was to avoid someone's entanglement.Ever since his father knew about his injury, he turned a blind eye and let him get closer to Zi Mian. He knew in his heart that his father's actions might have withstood a lot of pressure.Alas, since he was a child, he was used to the cruelty of factional struggles, so he understood his father's painstaking efforts better. In addition to actively curing the golden silkworm Gu, he had to do other things: "Zi Mian, you succeeded in casting a spell on King Yan in the north. Now the New Deal faction seems to want to win you over. What are you going to do?" "If I join them, the chancellor may not tolerate me even more." Zi Mian smiled wryly. "He can't tolerate you now. In my opinion, it's better to take a risky move?" He Lingyun frowned as he looked at the dim clouds in the northwest. Zi Mian's heart sank, her face remained calm, and she just asked lightly: "Oh? What should I do?" "It's better to take the attitude of attacking the New Deal faction and see if the prime minister can temporarily dispel his fear of you. Maybe he can tolerate you..." "Hehe, Lingyun, Lingyun," Zi Mian laughed when she heard the words, and helplessly patted the thick city wall bricks under her hands, "You want me to be his pawn? Are you not afraid that he will destroy me immediately after he wins? - In the end, you still A party toward the prime minister." "The whole family of my He family is tied to the prime minister's party." He Lingyun raised his eyebrows and stared at Zi Mian, his tone slightly angry, "What do you want from me? Zi Mian, I'm not a saint." Zi Mian kept silent and looked at He Lingyun silently, until He Lingyun became annoyed all the time: "What's wrong with standing with me? Zi Mian, this is what I thought of for you. The affairs of the political party are in dire straits, if you approach him at this time, it is the right time for him to change his attitude." Zi Mian no longer looked at him, just looked into the distance, and murmured in the wind: "Ling Yun, what did he owe me before?" Do you want to write it off?Rejection, criticism, assassination,... hurting her, how can it be written off? "In the court, there are no eternal enemies. I know you still hate what happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival." He Lingyun leaned his back on the crenel of the city wall, staring at the noncommittal Zi Mian, "Have you ever thought that it can hurt you?" The prime minister is also the only one who can fulfill you. Have you benefited from fighting against him for so many years? Almost all the old-school forces in the capital are attached to the prime minister. I don’t know how ambitious you are. If you want to take her with you as soon as possible Get out of the body, this seemingly dangerous shortcut, do you dare to take it?" shortcut?He had been in a dilemma with her once, and then they walked together on a seemingly dead end life path, but they really walked in the right direction. This time, does he want to give it a try? Cursing and killing King Yan was only in exchange for a faint compliment from the Holy One. Every time he made a contribution, he was passed down like this. If he said he was not in a hurry, not angry, or impatient, it would be a lie.He knew all this was because the prime minister was restraining him, and if his plan wanted to make any progress, he had to get through the prime minister. But this matter, he can't do it by himself; joining the New Deal faction to defeat the prime minister is a way, but the risk is so great that he is not sure for a long time, and what position the New Deal faction will put itself in, whether or not Willing to help myself realize my wish is also unknown... These days, he really felt that he had lost his way, and he didn't know where the way out was in the chaos. But at this moment, He Lingyun provided himself with a desperate solution-to surrender to the prime minister, put him to death and survive. When such an opportunity appeared when he was at a loss, should he take the risk?According to Master's wishes, he forbears in every possible way, for what reason?Maybe it's just to avoid being openly hostile to the prime minister... Maybe it's just for this day? To stand by Ling Yun's side...to stand by the Prime Minister's side, and let everything end as soon as possible—but at this time, to show his favor to the Prime Minister, how should he bear this huge humiliation? His heart was suffocated and painful as if blocked by a boulder, but when he thought about it, another thought moved him even more - if everything could end as soon as possible... Zi Mian glanced at He Lingyun, He Lingyun lowered his head and frowned, waiting for his reply. Zi Mian turned her head and looked at the red and yellow clouds rolling in the distance. After a long time, she finally said, "Ling Yun, today's celestial phenomenon is very interesting. "Yi Zhuan" said: Jue is yellow, Jue is deaf, Jue calamity does not come down. Meaning It is the foreign relatives who are in control and do not promote talents, so disasters and disasters are sent as a warning.... You can go back and talk to your father." He Lingyun looked at him, dark tides surged in his dark eyes.He twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's very interesting, I must go and talk to him." "It's too windy and sandy on the tower, I'm going back." Zi Mian stopped looking at him and walked down the tower. Dust was caught in the strong wind, and Zi Mian's clothes were rolled up, his back was lonely and determined in the dust.Seeing Zi Mian leave like this, He Lingyun couldn't help but felt a sense of loss, he raised his head to look at the gray sky, and felt that the world was so empty and blank for the first time.
Long Baiyue played the pipa brought by Bao'er a few times to accompany Gongshu Lingbao's newly rehearsed shadow play.Bao'er controls the puppet of the shadow puppet show, playing the role of Xiaosheng: "The soul has traveled thousands of miles, and finally returned to the capital where you are. Oh, why is there a mirror hanging high on the city gate, so that my footsteps cannot pass through?" "The celestial master hangs a mirror on the top of the city, saying that the enemy's evil spirits are wandering outside the city. Alas, when will my lover come back, and the tears in the boudoir will not be blown away by the spring breeze..." For some reason these two days, Gongshu Lingbao Playing up as a resentful woman in her boudoir is so vivid. Long Baiyue put down her pipa, and took a piece of paper to write down her own plan: Of course it is Zimian's method, let the husband and wife meet. "No, that smelly Taoist..." Gongshu Lingbao protested, unfolding the plot according to his own ideas, "Under the husband's rusty armor is the wife's own clothes, so the wife recognized it at the city gate, but But she was stopped by the door ban issued by the celestial master..." How does the wife herself meet her husband?Long Baiyue held up the paper and rolled her eyes to express her disapproval. "Of course the celestial master refused to take down the mirror." Taoist priests are not good things, and they didn't even return the wooden ox and horse. "So my wife cried bitterly under the city. In the end, God was moved by her and caused the city wall to collapse..." You are plagiarizing!Long Baiyue held up the white paper very high, and at first glance, his movements seemed to be blocking the sedan chair to sue for injustice. "Plagiarism is nothing, as long as it's touching..."
"Master," Ming Chuangchen walked into the cabin and looked at Zi Mian in some confusion, and murmured incredulously, "The Prime Minister's Mansion sent a sedan chair, saying that I would like you to come over..." Zi Mian closed the prophecy book in her hand, nodded indifferently: "Okay." "Master..." Ming Chuangchen was a little scared, such a master made him very uneasy. "It's okay." Zi Mian got up and patted his apprentice on the head, forcing out a slight smile, "Nothing will change... Go get my official robe." Against the howling wind, he got off the boat and got into a sedan chair on the shore.Dust fell all over the sky like rain. It should be daytime, but the sun was completely covered by the raging earth rain.
