Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty-Eight
An elegant room, two glasses of sake, two people sitting by the railing, the Qinhuai River flowing outside the window.
It's been a long time since I sat together so calmly, but the relationship is quite different from the past, is it a friend?Is it the enemy?Sentimental?ruthless?The feeling of constant cutting and chaos lingered in the hearts of the two of them.
Zhe Ziyu looked at Yang Hao quietly, his appearance didn't change much, because he was not yet twenty-eight years old, he couldn't grow a mustache, and his chin was shaved very clean.Now he is a member of the imperial court of the fifth rank, but he is still just a young man with a pair of piercing eyes and a gentle smile.
It's just that after experiencing so many lives, his expression and temperament have quietly changed, becoming more confident, mature, and sharp.Gu Pan, his confident and calm feeling made Zhe Ziyu feel kind and happy.
A man should be like this, strong, wise, and confident that everything is in control, but he definitely doesn't have the mature taste that blind arrogant, impulsive and reckless young people don't have.If what Yang Hao first attracted her was his witty conversation, his tenderness and kindness, if what Yang Hao first attracted her was his infatuation with Dong'er, then it was him who moved her heart. The feeling of growing up.
Looking at Yang Hao at this moment, she had the feeling that he was growing up, like a tree, spreading its branches and leaves, growing vigorously, gradually forming a dense crown and a thick trunk, which can shelter from wind and rain, and can be relied on Rest, this is the feeling, just when she is exhausted physically and mentally, but still struggling...
She is a girl with a delicate mind, and she has always hated the kind of bold and uninhibited man. This is why Yang Hao's delicacy and gentleness moved her.But her daughter's mind is fickle. When she regards Yang Hao as her man, the angle of examination quietly changes. She needs this man to be strong, confident, and capable of controlling her.
She is like a free Pegasus horse on the prairie, reserved and proud, she instinctively resists and escapes the man holding the lasso, but when she belongs to someone and is willing to be his little woman, she I just hope you have a pair of strong arms, I hope you have a whip that can harness a fierce horse.
This change in mood is not difficult to understand, just like when your girlfriend is dating you, she wishes you would send nine hundred and ninety-nine roses to her every day, but when she becomes your wife, except for the prodigal Except for top-notch women, most women will transform themselves, wishing you could transform into Grandet right away.
Yang Hao gradually got his finger on Zhe Ziyu's pulse and grasped her subtle psychological changes. He found that although he was frivolous and playful on purpose, obstructing and attacking him intentionally, although he often made Zhe Ziyu scream and jump in anger, She actually had the feeling that she was enjoying it, and the two of them were gradually attracting and reshaping their relationship with a new identity and a new self.He didn't know if the two of them had a result, and he didn't think about it at all. He originally wanted to sabotage what she was going to do in Nantang, but he fell in love again unknowingly. The smarter the person, the easier it is to fall in love. Go astray.
"Miss Mo, have a drink?" Yang Hao raised his glass, narrowly calling out her current identity.
When Zhe Ziyu saw his cynical smile, her teeth itch with hatred, but...she didn't dislike Yang Hao's smirk at all.She raised her glass, touched Yang Hao lightly, and after drinking a glass of wine, her pink cheeks flushed bright red: "Master Yang, do you have nothing to do every day, so you have such a leisurely mood?"
"Who says I have nothing to do?" Yang Hao poured wine for her, and said with a light smile, "I just did a big event today, fighting with the people. It seems that Miss Mo's eyes and ears in Jinling are limited, and she still doesn't understand it." Nothing."
"Fight with the National People's Congress?" Zhe Ziyu focused his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "With whom? For what?"
Yang Hao briefly talked about the conflict between him and the Khitan envoy. Zhe Ziyu frowned slightly and said: "The Khitan people have always been brutal and violent. The more you tolerate, the more they will make progress. They only respect the strong, and you retaliate. That's right, if you want to calm things down, I'm afraid it's just the opposite. What's more, as a state envoy, if you lose your power and humiliate the country, those imperial envoys and officials in the Song Dynasty can drown you alive with saliva.
However, don't think that the Khitan people are just men with bright swords and spears. They are as vicious as wolves and as cunning as foxes. They obviously can't take advantage of it, and they can't guarantee that they won't secretly plot. In this situation, how do you Can I come out alone? "
"I've tried my best to be careful. They want to deal with me, and they won't make a decision so quickly."
Zhe Ziyu rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Arrogance, you think you are invincible after learning a little bit of skill? You must know that it is easy to dodge a sharp spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. If a cold arrow is suddenly shot at a corner of the street, no matter how good your skills are, you will not be able to dodge it." Let's go. Besides, if you leave, you won't be afraid that the Khitan people will attack the people in your post?"
Yang Hao sighed and said: "I am the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, a civil servant. As the leader of the envoy, my duty is to decide whether to fight or make peace, and to treat them as enemies or friends, rather than to charge forward. I He has martial arts skills, but so what? It would be too sad if the safety of the Song Dynasty Mission could only be maintained with a sword from me, Honglu Shaoqing.
The people I bring out are all brave warriors carefully selected from the upper-class imperial guards, and their commanding officer is a military general who has experienced many battles.They know what to do, guard, defend, or fight, and they don't need me to tell them what to do. Today, they are thought to be prepared and unprepared, so it's okay to suffer a little bit.Now that I have formed a grudge, if I still want to suffer from others, then I should follow the example of Ye Luwen and let them commit suicide. "
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhe Ziyu curiously, and said with a smile: "It's really strange, the Khitan clan originated from the Rouran tribe of Xianbei, and your Fugu Zhe family originated from the Zhelan tribe of Xianbei. Speaking of which, you are of the same clan. , it is considered a family, why is your Zhe family more hostile to Khitan than to Song?"
Zhe Ziyu rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "You are unreasonable. What kind of kindness does Zhao Kuangyin have to you? It is worthy of your loyalty to help and protect him? It's a big joke if people in the world treat him If this is regarded as the standard of closeness between friends and enemies, then there will be no constant turmoil within the Khitan, and the Central Plains will still be the Xia Dynasty established by the son of Dayu, and it will be unified forever.
The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are mostly Han people, but if you lead your troops to make them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, just see whether they greet you with fine wine or sharp arrows, they will never be softer than the Khitan people.Speaking of the same ancestors, the royal families of the Sui and Tang dynasties all had Xianbei blood. Most of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the past turned into Han people, so what do you say?Same ancestor, right?Those surnamed Liu in the north are mostly descendants of the Huns, and those surnamed Yang in the north are mostly of Xianbei blood.Your surname is Yang, and you live in the north. Take out your genealogy and show it off. Three hundred years ago, we were both of the same ancestor. Maybe I will call you cousin. Why don't you come to help me? "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but "puchi" smile.
Yang Hao smiled wryly and said nothing: "That's right, I have habitually looked at things from the perspective of later generations. Talking about this with people today, isn't it playing the piano with a cow?"
Zhe Ziyu sighed softly, and said: "My Zhe family lives in the cloud, and I have ruled the prefecture since the Tang Dynasty. I have always been attached to the strong. Throughout the Tang, Jin, Zhou, and Song Dynasties, I have always chosen China as my ally. The reason for resisting Saibei is that the Khitan, who is of the same ancestor as me, has a greater appetite. The geography and folk customs of the Northwest are similar to those of Mobei. Land, we are attached to the Song State, claiming vassals and paying tribute, sending troops and salaries to help the Song State crusade against the Northern Han Dynasty, and contain the Khitan, just to find a place for ourselves to survive."
Speaking of this, she showed a bitter smile on her face: "We thought that Song Dynasty would follow Tang's national policy and use my family as a barrier for the northwest feudal town, but who knew that Song State annexed other countries too fast, and Zhao Kuangyin's ambitions swelled It's too fast, he has sworn to promise that as long as my Zheshi's ministers attach to the Central Plains, he will protect my Zheshi's family to govern the prefecture, but before my father's bones were cold, he started to grab it."
Yang Hao shook his head lightly: "Regardless of whether the Zhao family is dishonest or not, it is a fact that the Northwest is unable to resist the Central Plains. They know that it cannot be done, so why force it? Apart from killing more people, what is the benefit to the people of the world?"
Zhe Ziyu said dejectedly: "My elder brother is not willing to hand over the foundation of his ancestors, so I can only help him. No matter whether it is my Zhe family or his Zhao family, it is all for the sake of one family and one surname. The signboard of public welfare in the world , It is used to appeal to the hearts of the people, you go and persuade Zhao Kuangyin to give up annexing the Northwest for the sake of peace in the world, it is tantamount to seeking skins from a tiger, what he wants is that the foundation of Zhao's descendants is as stable as Mount Tai."
Yang Haodao: "He who understands the current affairs is a hero. The general trend of the world must be united for a long time. Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains has been fighting frequently and has been in turmoil for too long. Everyone yearns for a peaceful world. It may be possible to fight against it with a small area. Instead of this, why not make a plan early? It should be noted that the icing on the cake is not as good as the timely assistance, surrendering military power, voluntarily surrendering, and being defeated by force, the outcome is very different."
Two blushes of excitement rose on Zhe Ziyu's cheeks: "Why do you make such an assertion? My Zhe family does not have the strength to contend with the Song State, and I never thought that I could destroy the Song State, but it is possible to protect myself! "
"I advise you only if you can't!"
Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Ziyu, I will not harm you, let alone speak nonsense, to tell you the truth, the one who wins the Central Plains must be the Great Song Dynasty, and sooner or later Fuzhou will plant the banner of the Song Dynasty. The troubled times of the last hundred years will come to an end, and the people of the world will live a life of prosperity and peace for three hundred years, and then... will be the beginning of a new round of fate. Where will the Northwest go? She is a daughter, but she is involved in a lot of family affairs, which has a great impact on Brother Ling, why don't you persuade him to obey the will of heaven?"
"What did you say?"
Zhezi Yuteng stood up suddenly, and then realized her gaffe. She slowly sat back on the chair, looked at Yang Hao with a suspicious expression, and said after a long while: "You...why are you so sure? If you Given the strength of the Song Kingdom, it is not surprising to judge that it can unify the Central Plains, but you said... you said that the Song Dynasty had a national fortune of three hundred years, where did you start and how did you know it so clearly?"
Yang Hao was silent for a long while, then slowly said: "I can't explain the reason to you, but I will not play tricks, and I will not lie to you. Ziyu, I am telling the truth. You are in the Tang Dynasty. You won’t get what you want, go back to Fuzhou, and advise Brother Ling, it’s better to go with the trend than to be a chariot, don’t try to fight against the trend.”
Zhe Ziyu was inexplicably surprised, and suddenly thought, Yang Hao is Lu Zu's apprentice, and Lu Zu is called a half-immortal body by the folks, seeing that he is over a hundred years old, but looks like thirty people, it seems that he has great supernatural powers, Could it be that Lu Zu is also proficient in divination, and his calculations are more accurate than Chen Tuan's?Chen Tuan only calculated that Zhao Kuangyin was an emperor, but Lu Zu actually calculated the world's major events in the next three hundred years?
Zhe Ziyu's complexion changed several times. Even though she was alert and wise, she couldn't hold her breath at this moment. Thoughts flashed in her mind for a while, and she suddenly remembered the second husband's life that Chen Tuan had cut off for her. It was always in her chest. Having a heart disease, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Then...do you know what my fate is like?"
Yang Hao was silent for a moment, then shook his head shyly: "I don't know..."
Zhe Ziyu lowered his head in thought for a while, then raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yang Hao with piercing eyes: "If you don't need what you said, Tang...will definitely be wiped out by Song?"
Yang Hao said solemnly: "Yes, and it happened within the past three or two years."
Zhe Ziyu narrowed his big beautiful eyes, and asked slowly, "Then, who is going to destroy the Tang Kingdom?"
Yang Hao desperately searched his limited memory, thought for a while, and answered decisively: "Pan Mei, Cao Bin!"
Hearing what he said with certainty, Zhe Ziyu couldn't help but turn pale. If his fate had already been determined, how could he fight for it?Thinking of this, I was in a state of confusion for a moment.
Seeing the opportunity, Yang Hao persuaded again: "I have repeatedly obstructed you, not because I am loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, but because I am worried that you will act against the sky and make irreparable mistakes. Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties each have their own destiny. No matter how brilliant it was, it has its own country. When the family was ruined, the Zhe family had ruled Fuzhou for more than 200 years. Although they did not say that the king was no different from a country, for more than 200 years, they were no less than Guozuo of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty. Now Even if it is handed over, it is not brother Ling's fault, it is worthy of the ancestors of the Zhe family."
Zhe Ziyu took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "Okay! Then I'll just watch here. If the Song Dynasty conquers the Tang Dynasty, as you said, Zhao Kuangyin will order the generals to be Pan Mei and Cao Bin." , without further ado, I will return to the northwest immediately, and persuade my brother to give up power and preserve wealth. If what you say is not true..."
Yang Hao was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows and said: "Then I will never persuade you again, let alone obstruct you!"
"Okay, let's send it here." Zhe Ziyu stopped, glanced at the two strings of red lights in front of Lin's house, turned to look at Yang Hao, and said with a heavy heart: "I... have to go back, I I promise you, I will be careful. Be more careful when you go back by yourself, and next time...you will definitely be allowed to come out alone again." Yang Hao saw that her tone finally loosened, and she stopped being too stubborn, and also heard that there was no irrelevance in her tone, he couldn't help but felt happy, and said with a smile: "Is that how you go back?" "Huh?" Zhe Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise, "What else?" Yang Hao salivated and said with a smile: "This..., there is no goodnight kiss?" Two red clouds flew up on Zhe Ziyu's face. She was ashamed and angry and said, "Don't be so shameless, okay? Please, Yang Zuoshi, we two have nothing to do with each other now!" Yang Hao was awakened by her words, and when he thought of his plan, his expression darkened. Zhe Ziyu couldn't bear it when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "It's getting late, you must be careful when you return to the posthouse, remember, from now on Come out alone. I... I went back..." "Ziyu!" Yang Hao grabbed her suddenly with the help of alcohol, stared at her delicate face affectionately, and said in a low voice, "Just one kiss, just this time, this lifetime, the last time..." He really wanted to tell Ziyu that maybe before the Song Dynasty defeated Tang, he would disappear from her sight forever, and there would be no chance to see her again in this life, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back forcefully. Zhe Ziyu vaguely noticed that there was something strange in his tone, and couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, trying to see a clue from his face.The chin was lifted up, and the charming and sexy lips were in front of her eyes, and she could taste its tenderness as soon as she lowered her head. "If you don't commit a crime tonight, I'm sorry for the wine." Yang Hao murmured, gently holding her smooth chin, and gently bringing his lips together. With a distance of one centimeter, Yang Hao already felt her hot and rapid breathing, and a cold thing suddenly stuck to his neck, stopping his movement.Yang Hao was slightly taken aback, and slowly stood up straight, squinting his eyes, but saw Zhe Ziyu holding the sword alone, the dagger was a few inches out of the scabbard, and the sword was leaning against his throat. "Give you three points of color, and you will open a dyeing workshop! Don't get drunk here, go back to the post immediately, carefully protect your dog's life, and don't fall into the trap of the Khitan people, otherwise, this is really your last time Talk nonsense!" After Zhe Ziyu finished speaking, he raised the toe of his boot and kicked him on the shin, and said angrily, "Get lost!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and fled towards the gate of the house. Yang Hao rubbed his nose, looked at her slender back, and murmured: "Is this flirting..." "My lord, you're back, you're so worried about me." Seeing Yang Hao's return, Jiao Sicheng was overjoyed and rushed to greet him. Yang Hao smiled lightly, and said: "I will be careful, what about the Khitan people, what can you do?" Jiao Sicheng walked back with him, and said: "The soldiers are heavily guarded. The Tang army is like a wall. There is no big move there. The Lord of Jiangnan sent someone to invite you to the palace for a banquet tomorrow. It seems that they wanted to be a peacemaker, so they reconciled. The Khitans only sent a nimble spy to sneak into our post, presumably to spy on us, but was caught by Commander Zhang with a fishing net. He couldn't ask anything out of his mouth, and he didn't admit that he came from the Khitan post, and now he's waiting for your lord's attention." Just as he was speaking, Zhang Tongzhou came up to him in military uniform and armor, clasped his fists and said, "My lord." Behind him, followed by two rows of guards, two of which were heavy-backed warriors dragging a bearded man in night clothes, A ball of numbness was stuffed in his mouth, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, he stared at Yang Hao fiercely, with a sinister grin. "Hmm!" Yang Hao nodded and smiled: "Commander Zhang, you did a good job. That kind of small shrimp is nothing to judge, and you can't ask anything useful." He glanced at the man, half a smile Authentic: "Who can prove that he sneaked into our post? This man is a scourge. Kill him and throw him back into the courtyard of the Khitan people. Otherwise, someone will bite back tomorrow and say that we kidnapped their people." gone." The Khitan warrior was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect this Song man to be so ruthless, he struggled immediately, but how could he struggle under the control of two big men. Yang Hao hurriedly walked into the hall, and ordered: "I am in a good mood tonight, and I don't want to see blood. You should deal with this disgusting thing immediately, so that there will be no blood on your face and no injuries on your body." "Ah?" Zhang Tongzhou straightened his eyes: "Then how do we kill him?" "Master Commander, this subordinate has a solution." A soldier whispered to him, laughing like a thief.
"Okay, let's send it here." Zhe Ziyu stopped, glanced at the two strings of red lights in front of Lin's house, turned to look at Yang Hao, and said with a heavy heart: "I... have to go back, I I promise you, I will be careful.
