"Master Goulong's words are too overwhelming, right?" Qin Xi heard Goulong Ruyuan's words and said with a sneer: "Over the past few days, the military affairs of the DPRK and China have been in chaos and the situation is decaying. To be out of control, but every scholar of mine, all of my scholars rallied and stood up to fight, even if I was hand-in-hand, risking death, I would have no regrets, but within these days, Master Goulong What do you feel comfortable doing?!"

"In these days, I and the scholars in the scholars have been generous and passionate, and sacrificed their lives, but there is a man who was influenced by the Confucianism of our scholars since childhood, and was regarded as a new generation of Taishan Beidou by my scholars in the world. At this time, the generation of majors actually saw the wind and turned the rudder. Not only did they never come forward, but they were in the same fashion with the group of martial arts, monopolizing authority, suppressing the censorship, blocking the speech of the court, and sitting by and watching the warriors enter the station. Lin'an has its own departments and institutes, unscrupulously used force to chase politics and humiliate the gentleman. I have always practiced the emperor and the literati to rule the world. I did not expect that my gentleman's temperament would be frustrated by this in vain. It is really true. In the more than one hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the disaster has never been encountered before." Qin Xi said impassionedly, turned his face and looked at Goulongruyuan, his tone became darker, and said slowly: "Master Goulong, when At that time, what are you doing?! I said "stand by and watch", which is still light. If it is really true, I am afraid that it is more suitable for Lord Goulong's judgment, but it is "helping the gang to be abused"!"

"Xi'er, don't be rude." Qin Hui stopped Qin Xi's words, but in his words, he couldn't hear the meaning of blame. He just said indifferently: "How Master Goulong will do it will naturally have his considerations. How can I allow you to talk more!"

"Yes!" Qin Xi got up and saluted Qin Hui, but gave Goulong Ruyuan a sideways glance, and then sat down in a huff and didn't speak anymore.

"The presidency of the imperial historian is in charge of remonstrance, and it is his responsibility to correct hundreds of officials and correct my Da Song Fengji. Now Yue Shuai and Liu Shuai lead the army into the city, and they are forcibly stationed in Lin'an. Each has its own department. It is not in line with the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty. Ding Zonggui is a lawless person who has been guilty of imperial court, three soldiers and one soldier. Ding Zonggui has spent a long time in the Huahua World in Lin'an. I really don’t know what will happen.” Qin Hui turned his face and looked at Goulong Ruyuan, slowly Slowly said: "It's just that I look at Ruyuan these days, and it seems that I am living a little too much. Didn't Ruyuan just come to the old man's mansion from the West Market?!"

"Qin Xianggong Mingjian", Goulong Ruyuan could easily hear the meaning implied in Qin Hui's seemingly ridiculous remarks, but when he came to Qin Hui's mansion today, he was already prepared in his heart. After speaking, he responded more calmly. He bowed his hand to Qin Hui and said: "Students walking between the West Market are not boring, but there is really something to do."

"Something?!" Qin Xi seemed to be a red-faced character today. Hearing Goulong Ruyuan's words, he immediately retorted and sneered: "The national affairs are different from each other. Master Goulong is in a high position in the court. Salary, do you think your private affairs are more important than my court and state affairs?!"

"Master Qin misunderstood." Gou Long Ruyuan smiled blankly at the aggressive Qin Xi: "Ruyuan is not talented, but he has not yet dared to forget his loyalty to the emperor. These days he has been walking in the city. On the well, originally because he didn't dare to forget, he was in charge of Yushi Zhongcheng!"

"Oh?" Qin Hui frowned slightly, raised his hand to stop Qin Xi who wanted to speak, and looked at Goulong Ruyuan: "I don't know why Ruyuan taught me, the old man would like to hear the details."

"In addition to dictating justice and correcting hundreds of officials, Yushi Zhongcheng also has another job." Gou Long Ruyuan smiled faintly, and said: "Look at the grievances of the people, observe the voices of the people, tell the news and make things happen. It’s also the duty of my Yushi superintendent that it is the responsibility of my censorship officer. Qin Xianggong and Master Qin must also remember it."

Qin Hui pondered slightly, but Qin Xi couldn't help being speechless for a while and couldn't answer.

To rule the country, the emperor must listen to the sentiments and opinions of the people. It is just that the means of transportation and communication are really low. Even in such a prosperous Song dynasty, the central court will never extend its tentacles to every corner of the empire. Not to mention the conditions are even more difficult than today's predecessor dynasties.

Among the folk rumors, although there has never been a lack of anxious ghosts in six hundred li to rush, the emergency military information was transmitted from the frontier back to the central court in more than ten days, but a folk rumor is inevitably exaggerated. Exaggerated, the second is the so-called six hundred li rush, relying more on the perfect post system to constantly change people and horses, and even in the era of unprecedented wealth like the time of the Song Dynasty, even if it has already tried to bring that kind of The post-transmission system, which consumes a lot of money, was spread to every corner of the empire, but it was only possible to use this post-transmission system when delivering urgent messages, and it should never be regarded as a normal communication system. , It is not something that the general public can use.

So as early as the last three generations, which were basically in the legend, there were special officials who went to various places to explore the folk customs, and then went straight to Tianting. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were also many sayings about poetry officials. However, in ancient times, cifu was not used to sing for entertainment and to whitewash peace, but also to express the feelings, reflect the folk customs and sentiments, among the three hundred poems and Han Yuefu, how many lament the difficulty of the living and the people, directly complain The work of the people's sorrows and complaints is the result of this.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the opening of the department to recruit scholars broke the monopoly of all knowledge inheritance by the clan since the Wei and Jin dynasties. Without the establishment of poetry officials, the Song Dynasty ruled the world with literature. The aphorism of "Heaven sees itself and the people listens, he listens to himself and the people listen" is abiding, so it goes deep into the people and observes the people’s customs. The responsibility naturally shifted to the Yushi Supervisor who had the right to hear and speak.

It’s just that, with the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, life in the prosperous city is completely different from that in the suburban farms. Those literati, regardless of whether they were born in a poor family, once the imperial examination is awarded. This level of advancement, even if it is outside the prefectures and counties, is always among the local city walls. What's more, although the censors of the Song Dynasty were responsible for collecting people’s feelings, they were all officials at the center. The power of supervision at the local level, due to the unique system of the Song Dynasty’s separation of official posts and dispatching, is often divided among officials such as judges, supervisors, and horses. It is even more impossible to talk about going deep into the people and listening to the sentiments of the people. Having said that, even with Qin Xi's qualifications, there was no reaction for a while.

"Even so, Master Goulong should know the priorities." Qin Xi returned to his senses and sneered at Goulong Ruyuan: "At this time, the Wufu is in chaos, and each of them is advancing to Lin'an. In the imperial city, the national affairs are at this level. At this time, Lord Goulong wants to be far away from the temples and close to the rivers and lakes, but he said that he wants to observe the people’s sentiments and observe the morals. If this is not regarded as the wind and the rudder, then can't you say a word of escape?! "Update, faster, all in 16 literature network, ., mobile access:. The full text reading allows you to see at a glance, and enjoy the fun of reading at the same time!

"Master Qin laughed", Goulong Ruyuan still looked unmoved, and responded lightly: "Ruyuan has been walking between the streets and alleys these days, watching people's sentiments and listening to the wind. It's really to figure out what the priorities are!"

……

"Zunjia seems to be kind", Ren Dejing sat on the table in the lobby of the inn with a glass of wine in his hand, and greeted the man sitting across from him: "I don't know if I have been to the Song Dynasty. The land of the western border state?!"

Except for the voice of Ren Dejing and the man, his guards are all sitting scattered in the hall. It seems that one or two of them are immersed in eating and drinking. There is no sound of talking to each other at all. This is a huge inn. In the lobby, there is a strange and quiet scene.

The shopkeeper of the inn here is also an old Youzi who has opened a shop for many years, and although it is only an inn in a village and town, there are frequent visits and merchants, but it can be regarded as quite large. If it is under normal circumstances, and occasionally encounters such a cold situation in front of him, he will naturally bring the idlers, singing and singing in the inn to the lively and lively atmosphere, so that the tea and rice doctor will serve one or two hot dishes, and talk a few words. A joke that made the shop alive again, but now whether it is the shopkeeper or the idler helpers, they hide far away and dare not come forward, even if they have to serve food and warm wine. The cooking man and the scorching woman both tremblingly finished what they were doing. They fled and rushed away, and they didn't even have the courage to look back at the lobby.

After all, both the shopkeeper and the helpers here are people who are used to seeing people from all corners of the world. A pair of tricks are very poisonous. After seeing the one just now, although they may not really understand what happened here, they still They can all assume that these people are people they can't provoke.

What's more, apart from the man at the center table and Ren Dejing, the other guards who are sitting around Ren Dejing, although both seem to be silent and immersed in eating and drinking, when they look up, The cold light flashed in his eyes, tightly locked in the body of the man sitting in the middle, Ren Dejing and the man, dare not let go of any slight changes, even though these inn shopkeepers, helpers, and idlers They are basically ordinary people who are completely ignorant of martial arts, but every time they step into the lobby, they can always feel that there seems to be an extremely dangerous atmosphere in the lobby that they are so familiar with, this feeling. Let those who have to set foot in the lobby to serve wine and serve food, and the glutinous ladies feel that every step in the lobby feels that they are shabby. We must be prepared to choose people and eat them.

Just after Ren Dejing walked into the lobby, the invisible pressure radiating from the man seemed to be completely eliminated. This also made the guards who have been stalemate at the entrance of the inn finally breathe a sigh of relief. In this short confrontation, under this invisible pressure, these security experts almost fell so weakly. If they were not supported by the companions who came from behind, they would have almost made a fool of themselves on the spot. .

If, in accordance with the idea of the captain of the guard, facing a man like this man, it is best not to provoke him, rather to take a detour, especially when seeing those few guards who are almost collapsed. After the performance, the captain of the escort firmed up his thoughts, but at this moment, Ren Dejing had already walked into the lobby with his responsibilities and status, no matter how he assessed the situation, he would have been absolutely absent. It is not allowed to make decisions under such a situation where the danger is only possible, and the more you take the place of Ren Dejing, the captain of the guard can only make arrangements for those guards masters, and follow up step by step. After leaving the lobby, I sat down in the surrounding seats in each position, showing 1.2 million points of vigilance, and protecting them as much as possible.

Ren De Jing is still that calm appearance. Although his cultivation level in martial arts is not as good as that of his guard captain, the appearance of the guards in front of the inn just now can be seen in the eyes. Some people already know the weight of this man in the middle of the lobby, but what he says is that he has lived in Xixia for a long time, and he has his own mind and consideration, but he still walked into the lobby without hesitation. , Sat down on the opposite side of the man, picked up the wine glass sent by the shopkeeper, and drank with the man.

Ren Dejing has become the decisive figure of the Western Xia Hou Party in these years, and he has also been among the core of the mysterious sect behind the Hou Party. He has long recognized the greatness of the world and the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, but his martial arts training is as advanced as the man before him The extent, that is already rare. It is by no means that you can bump into a few casually on the street. People of this level naturally have their demeanor. As long as they are not deliberately directed at them, as long as they deal with them properly, I don't want to embarrass myself.

His trip to the Song Dynasty is extremely important. Therefore, he carefully selected his subordinates to follow him all the way to the Song Dynasty. Not only are they loyal to him, they are also the first-rate young generation of the Xixia Kingdom. The elite of, can be said to be the most elite force under him.

Ren Dejing was originally not a party member. He joined Xixia from the Song Dynasty. He was just a surrender. Originally, Xixia didn't pay much attention to him. Later, because of fate, he was hidden behind the Xixia Hou Party. His mysterious sect actually fell in love with his daughter, and his beloved daughter was able to worship into that mysterious sect and become the new generation of that mysterious sect, and became the queen of Xixia freely. Becoming the queen mother, Ren Dejing was able to rely on his father and daughter, step by step, to climb to the position of today's one person and above 10,000 people in Xixia Kingdom.

However, no matter how high he is, he is always an outsider who has no roots in the Xixia Kingdom, and even a Song person who has fought with Xixia party members for many years and generations. This in itself is only a matter of fact. For a long time, even though Ren Dejing's status has skyrocketed, in the eyes of many people in Xixia Kingdom, it was nothing more than a betrayer for glory, relying on the nouveau riche of his daughter.

Therefore, Ren Dejing has used the power in his hand to recruit party members and support his confidants over the past few years, so that these children from the family who are even considered to be the Xixia royal family are convinced and obedient to him, even loyal. The ground followed him, and he was so devoted to him. One can imagine how difficult it is.

Controlling people with power can only collect a group of minions who are keen on power, but no real confidants and dead men can be exchanged for them. Minions are naturally useful for slaves, but they really want to gain a foothold in the Xixia Kingdom, even If Yu really wants to one day realize the ambitious and almost crazy plan Ren Dejing currently thinks in his heart, then he must have his own family background, and he must truly have a group of subordinates who can truly be loyal to him.

Therefore, over the years, Ren Dejing has fluttered and moved between the Xixia Emperor Party and the post-party, exhausted his thoughts and methods, and did not know how to use both kindness and power, and finally achieved the current situation.

Dangxiang people only worship the real strong and only real victories. The reason why these outstanding figures of the young generation of Dangxiang have become confidantes who have been loyal to Ren Dee to the present level is naturally because they have seen it. Respectful means is also because they trust and respect each other can take them from one victory to another.

Therefore, Ren Dejing is different from his captain of the guard. His role as the captain of the guard lies in the responsibilities of the captain. Naturally, no matter what you think about, the first point of consideration is to make sure that Ren Dejing is safe, and Ren Dejing wants to think about it. The matter is of course much more complicated.

The martial arts cultivation base of that gangster is, of course, the abyss is deep and the ocean is wide, but if they were so scrupulous about this guy, they would just take a detour and turn around. Although it can also be explained that they are undesirable, these guards probably won’t. Some objections, but Ren Dejing is afraid that this will give him the prestige in their hearts and leave an irreparable blow.

In the face of a strong enemy, being brave and fighting is nothing but the work of a barbarian. We should weigh the strength of the enemy and ourselves and use the way of advancing and retreating. This principle should be acceptable to everyone. However, it is not clear at all. The bottom line of the gangster, I don’t even know whether the gangster is an enemy or a friend, or even know that the gangster just deliberately provoked just for what the situation, so I chose to make a detour. While okay, retreating away, it's really a bit unreasonable.

After all, if they took a detour, it would be a conflict between a few master guards and the gangster hawker, and when they were at a disadvantage, they would retreat. Although the guards would not say anything, But I am afraid that there will be some uncomfortable places in my heart.

What's more, now based on what the guide said, Ren Dejing has roughly come to the conclusion that this gangster is not really directed at their group of people, but is just a strange stranger with a weird temper. Anyway, with his experience in response, meeting each other may be able to resolve each other's doubts.

Even judging from what the guide just described, the character of this gangster seems to be a bit too curious and nosy, Ren Dujing thinks that if they really just turn around, they will go and take a detour. Then, maybe it will arouse this odd-tempered stranger's curiosity for a while, but instead catch up with the tail, and then the trouble will be much more.

So Ren Dejing chose to walk in so generously. It was not a painstaking effort, but a vain courage. It was just a balance in the heart, and I felt that instead of turning around and leaving, it would be better to come and talk to this gangster. The customer resolves the previous misunderstandings, and even sets the relationship better.

It’s just that Ren Teijing would say so now, and it’s not all in chaos. After he sits down, the more he looks at the man sitting across from him, the more he feels deja vu, and he always feels like he is somewhere. I have seen this man some time, but it may be a long time apart, and I can't remember it for a while.

"I have never been to Bianzhou before, and I should have never seen your Excellency." The man seemed to be easy-going and amiable now, and he did not seem to be unreasonable as the guide just described. He put down his wine bowl and lifted it up. At the beginning, his gaze was fixed on Ren Dejing's body, and he smiled and said: "If you have the privilege of seeing someone as special as your Excellency, no matter how long the distance is, you will never forget it!"

"Hahahaha, I'm so ridiculous!" Ren Dejing listened with great relief. He originally came to resolve the misunderstanding of the two sides. Now that he heard this man talking like this, he obviously also meant to reconcile. Such a solution is really ideal.

"Zaixia is just a small vendor who wanders between Song and Xia, working hard to do a little business to make a living." Ren Jingjing drank his glass of wine and filled it again. He respected the man and smiled at him: "Zun I’m so crazy, I really make my face blush when I listen to it!"

"Small trader?!" The man also laughed, and it seemed that the scene was harmonious: "Your Excellency is too humble!"

"Your Excellency, a member of the Central Plains of Song Dynasty, can actually find many Xixia party officials to be accompanying guards", the man picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it, suddenly his eyes fixed on Ren Dingjing's body, his eyes Rudian, even if someone like Ren Dejing, under the blazing light of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel stunned. He could only hear the guy slowly say: "Walking south and north, I've seen a lot of things. In the world, but such a small vendor, in the world, really has never been fortunate enough to encounter it!"
