Chapter 19
In the fourth year of Kaiyun, on February Bingyin (10th day), the "Thousand People Petition" drama in front of the Prince's Mansion of Peking is destined to be recorded in history in the future. The main behind-the-scenes workers of this drama are basically certain, including director Liu Zhiyuan, executive director Liu Chengyou, Yang Bing, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, etc.
Performers: starring Liu Zhiyuan, Zhang Yanwei, etc., supplemented by Hedong civil and military officials and thousands of Jinyang officers, soldiers, officials and civilians...
Perhaps after the historian's Spring and Autumn style, this story will evolve into a legend that has been passed down for generations, just like the drama of "incorporating a yellow robe", which will last forever.
However, this drama did not end with a "perfect" ending. The King of Peking Liu Zhiyuan still kept his last bit of reserve.
There were not many military and civilian officials who petitioned and had the determination to "respond to death". After Liu Zhiyuan gave a reply that was not considered a reply, it gradually dispersed. If he didn't leave, the city inspectors would come to suppress him.
Although the petition activity has come to an end for a while, the impact continues to ferment, and this time it spreads faster and wider, not only in Jinyang City, but also in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.
And this time, even the most ordinary Qianshou in Jinyang City was touched. This Jinyang City may have another emperor!
At a late time, Liu Chengyou called Zhang Yanwei to a winery in Jinyang East City and set up a simple banquet to reward him for his hard-working performance.
"All the petitioners left the city?" After eating a few sips of wine and food, Liu Chengyou asked directly.
"After your arrangement, I have arranged all of them to leave the city and return to the camp, and I have not stayed." Zhang Yanwei replied.
"Don't send all the rewards!"
Zhang Yanwei said insincerely: "Brothers come to the city to persuade them to enter, all because of their sincerity, not for the sake of reward."
"The rewards that should be given will not be short for soldiers, I—" Halfway through the words, Liu Chengyou stopped and suddenly turned around and stared at him.
After Liu Chengyou's sudden look, he felt a little furious, but he was nervous. After he noticed the suspicion in Liu Chengyou's eyes, he realized it and quickly explained: "The rewards are all given by Ma Quanyi himself, please rest assured!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's eyes then shone with a shiny light, his expression calmed down, and he raised his finger to Zhang Yanwei's forehead with blood-clamped scabbed: "You have trouble this time, and I remember all the hard work in my heart!"
He was slightly happy in his heart, and Zhang Yanwei smiled modestly, and his beard shook three points: "It's all the ones that should be done!"
Zhang Yanwei had told Liu Chengyou about some details today, but Liu Chengyou was a little interested in the little storm at the city gate: "Which captain?"
Hearing Liu Chengyou's incident in advance, Zhang Yanwei was immediately full of resentment and cursed: "When I mention that guy, Mo Jiang is angry. A small city gate captain, so he is so unhappy that he dares to reject Mo Jiang is equivalent to outside the door. Liu Xin is the same, he can't arrange these small things!"
As soon as he finished complaining, Zhang Yanwei suddenly realized that Liu Xin was Liu Chengyou's uncle, and he changed his words cleverly: "The last general is not criticizing Liu Du Commander..."
Liu Chengyou waved his hand. In fact, he didn't think much of his uncle. It would be fine if he had no virtue or talent, but he was still greedy and cruel. More importantly, Liu Xin supported his elder brother Liu Chengxun.
"The little team leader is so loyal to his duties, and he can be neither humble nor arrogant when facing you. This is rare among the Hedong army." Liu Chengyou's focus was still on the team leader, sighing slowly, with some praise in his tone.
"Think carefully, it's true!" After hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Zhang Yanwei changed his words and agreed with tactfully. Looking at Liu Chengyou's calm face, he smiled and said, "Did you love talents again? Do you want to investigate? After today, I think the team leader will not be in a good situation!"
"It's okay to know about it!" Liu Chengyou said lightly.
Liu Chengyou acted calmly and didn't care, but Zhang Yanwei was silently thinking. He thought to himself, just a team leader, just look for an opportunity to be transferred to his subordinates first.
After drinking a few sips of old wine and eating a few sips of dishes, Zhang Yanwei's face showed a little hesitation. He glanced around and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "Military Master, we have gathered so many people this time and wept and wept. Why didn't the king agree and wanted to delay?"
"My father has his own ideas and his own reasons. You can do your own things well!" Liu Chengyou replied, thinking about it, and adding softly: "The ancient kings received the order, and there were three words and three words to give way."
Zhang Yanwei seemed to understand, and gently shook his head and said with emotion: "There are such twists and turns in it. The king has strong soldiers and generals and directly ascends the throne and becomes emperor. Why do you need to do the useless corrupt ceremony of a literati and cause trouble?"
Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou frowned and stared at him with a squint eyes: "Are you studying?"
Liu Chengyou's indifferent eyes were always horrifying. Zhang Yanwei was stunned when he heard the question, and then he replied nervously: "I will only be a rough man, and I won't study."
"If you have time, read more!" Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze and said.
"Ah?" Zhang Yanwei looked even more inexplicable. He looked at Liu Chengyou and asked honestly: "What book do you read?"
"The Analects of Confucius!" Seeing this stupid military man, Liu Chengyou was a little angry: "I asked those literati to enter the military camp to 'tell stories', not only to the soldiers, but also to listen carefully!"
"Yes." Zhang Yanwei could only nod and agreed.
"I won't mention these things anymore. Come and eat and drink well, don't waste it!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to reveal the topic and greeted Zhang Yanwei, hoping to wipe out some of the wine and food on the table. His frugal and simplicity image, regardless of whether it was pretended or not, at least at present, Liu Chengyou is performing very well.
"By the way, my father may have some advice on you later!" He mentioned Zhang Yanwei again, and Liu Chengyou let him go.
When he retreated, Liu Chengyou sighed. Looking back on Zhang Yanwei's response just now, his pure martial arts mentality, Liu Chengyou believed that it was his most real reaction, but it was precisely this that there was a long way to go to change the army...
After wiping the greasy edge of his mouth, he threw down his handkerchief, and Liu Chengyou got up and returned to the palace. When he went back, he had to discuss the next thing with Liu Zhiyuan. At this time, his old father was not sure whether he was happy or worried?
......
The next day, the Beiping Palace informed the military and civilians of Jinyang and gave a reply to what he asked yesterday. However, his reply was still disappointing. Instead of mentioning the claim to be emperor, he informed a decision to lead elite troops and go out of Jingxing in the east to rescue the family of Shi Chonggui, the young emperor of Jin who was captured by the Khitans.
This decision seemed to show Liu Zhiyuan's determination that even though the Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed, he still wanted to be a "loyal minister"!
