Chapter 325 Expecting Qingshan to see me as it should be
Hangzhou.
Before the Zhou Dynasty, this beautiful and famous city belonged to the "domain of Yangzhou". Legend has it that when Xia Yu controlled the floods, the country was divided into nine states, and the vast area south of the Yangtze River was generally called Yangzhou.
The boat sailed through here and left the rest of Hangzhou here, so it was named "Yuhang". The Yue people called this place "Yuhang". Later, the oral tradition passed down the word "Yu" as "Yu". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou began to develop
Heyday.
In the third year of Jianyan reign of the Southern Song Dynasty, a palace was built in Hangzhou as the seat of the business. It was promoted to Lin'an Prefecture and the administrative seat was Qiantang. It governed the nine counties of Qiantang, Renhe, Lin'an, Yuhang, Yuqian, Changhua, Fuyang, Xincheng, and Yangong. The area was related to the Tang Dynasty.
The dynasties are roughly the same. The Eighth Year of Shaoxing was established here, and the city wall of Hangzhou was greatly expanded as a result. At that time, it was divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city, that is, the imperial city, has a radius of nine miles and surrounds Fenghuang Mountain. It starts from Fengshan Gate in the north and reaches Jianggan in the south.
, reaching Wansongling in the west and Houchaomen in the east. Within the imperial city, palaces, halls, towers, pavilions, as well as many palaces and imperial gardens were built. The outer city spans Wushan Mountain in the south, Wulin Gate in the north, and is connected to the West Lake on the right and the West Lake on the left.
It is adjacent to the Qiantang River and is magnificent. There are thirteen city gates and a moat outside the city.
As many people from the north moved south with the imperial court, the population of Lin'an Prefecture increased sharply.
As soon as Ding Yunyi and others arrived in Hangzhou, the three women were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, and they were still having fun after a whole day of fun.
Ding Yunyi and Ding Zongzhen were not interested in traveling at all, but they couldn't show it in front of the three women, so they could only stay with them in silence for the whole day.
These three women were so beautiful that if they suddenly appeared in Hangzhou, they would probably cause a commotion in Hangzhou. So they all put on men's clothes. Although their behavior was serious, they were petite and looked like women at first glance. But fortunately
Women disguised themselves as men, concealing their beauty, and no one else had any idea, so it did not cause any commotion.
Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Gu Hengbo suddenly said: "Tao Yi Taoist and Hedong Jun both live by the West Lake, why not go to their place to enjoy the autumn breeze?"
Li Xiangjun and Wang Yue cheered in unison, but Ding Yunyi pretended to frown: "They and I have never been together. Besides, there are differences between men and women, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to interrupt them rashly."
"Oh, when did Mr. Ding become such a gentleman?" Li Xiangjun said with disdain.
Wang Yue had the best heart: "It doesn't matter. Taoist Cao Yi and Mr. Hedong are both generous people. Mr. Hedong often wears men's clothes on weekdays, and he has a deep love for us sisters. Besides, Taoist Cao Yi's beloved husband Xu Yuqing is afraid
Yes, too."
"Don't pay attention to him, he is just showing off." Gu Hengbo pursed his lips and smiled.
Liu Rushi wandered alone to the West Lake in Hangzhou. He happened to meet his senior Wang Wei who lived in seclusion here. She was once a famous prostitute, but now calls herself a "Taoist in Cao Yi". Seeing this, Liu Rushi also rented a house by the West Lake.
After settling down, he became a neighbor with Cao Yi Taoist. He often went to Cao Yi Taoist's house to chat and exchange poems.
Xu Yuqing came back that day. When he met Wang Wei and his wife, he went to the next door to invite Liu Rushi to have dinner with him. As soon as the food was served, he heard someone outside shouting: "Is Taoist Taoist Cao Yi here? The autumn wind blower is here."
Taoist Wang Wei, who was dressed in grass, was startled at first, and then he and Liu Rushi laughed at the same time: "Okay, okay, okay, Gu Hengbo is here after all."
The two of them went out together, and Liu Rushi took the lead: "Where is Brother Mei?"
"Yes, brother, your sister is here!"
It was Wang Yue who said this, and Liu Rushi saw it. Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue, and Li Xiangjun were all here. At that time, he and Taoist Cao Yi were overjoyed. They held hands and started talking and laughing.
It is pitiful that the dignified Wu Liebo Ding Yunyi was left aside in the cold.
Ding Yunyi looked at the Taoist in Caoyi and Liu Rushi quietly. He saw that Taoist in Caoyi was thirty-six or seven years old, and his charm was still there. He must have been a great beauty in his youth.
However, Liu Rushi was wearing men's clothes like Gu Hengbo and the others, but she couldn't hide her graceful figure, with bright eyes, a straight nose, a pretty mouth, and white and tender skin. If she were to put on women's clothes, she would charm many men to death.
I saw how charming Qingshan was, but I didn’t expect Qingshan to be so charming when she saw me!
She has a bold personality, just like Gu Hengbo. She calls Gu Hengbo "Brother Mei" and Gu Hengbo calls her "Brother". Although both of them are women, they make themselves look like men.
The women laughed and laughed for a while, and Taoist Cao Yi finally discovered Ding Yunyi's existence. They were shocked. Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue, and Li Xiangjun were all very high-minded, so why did they bring a man with them this time?
She is the master and does not dare to neglect: "Who is this?"
No need to be introduced, Ding Yunyi said in a low voice: "The driver."
At this time, Gu Hengbo and the three women burst into laughter again. They only focused on the reunion of their friends, but ignored the dignified Commander-in-Chief.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Taoist in grass clothes, Mr. Hedong, this is Lord Wu Liebo, Fujian Commander-in-Chief, Hussar General, Lord Protector Ding Yun Yi Ding."
Taoist Cao Yi had only vaguely heard of this person's name and said calmly, "A commoner girl has met Mr. Ding."
She felt strange in her heart. Considering the personalities of Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun, they had always been arrogant and did not like to associate with officials. Why were they with Wu Liebo today?
But Liu Rushi exclaimed: "Could it be Ding Huben who fought in Yingzhou in a bloody battle and broke thieves in the Central Plains?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Seeing that Liu Rushi had also heard his name, Ding Yunyi felt quite proud.
"Who is the murderer Ding Huben?"
At this time, another voice came from behind.
Taoist priest Caoyi looked back and saw that his husband, Xu Yuqing, had come out.
Xu Yuqing came to the front in a few steps and looked Ding Yunyi up and down: "Are you the butcher Ding Yunyi?"
"That's right. Who is sir?"
"I am Xu Yuqing. I have heard the name of Ding Huben for a long time. How lucky I am to meet you today!"
Taoist Cao Yi felt strange, Ai Lang was a scholar, how could he recognize such a warrior?
But Xu Yuqing was full of admiration: "'Ding Huben is the killer, Ding Yunyi is the butcher; Ding Huben is unstoppable, Ding Yunyi is the murderer! Rivers of blood flow everywhere from Huben, and mountains of corpses appear when the butcher comes!' Ding Huben's fame moves the world. The Central Plains are flat, in fact, they are flat.
He is my best general in the Ming Dynasty. Please pay your respects to Xu Yuqing!"
"Don't take it seriously, sir, get up quickly." Ding Yunyi hurriedly helped him.
If the words "Butcher Ding, a murderer" had fallen into the ears of Gu Hengbo and others before, they would have been disgusted and avoided them. But now that they heard it, they only felt that their vision was correct. Ding Yunyi was indeed a
What a great hero. Even celebrities like Xu Yuqing admired him so much!
After hearing this, Liu Rushi unconsciously looked at Ding Yunyi for a while...
Ding Yunyi also had a great impression of Xu Yuqing. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli and was awarded the official title of Jinhua. In the third year of Tianqi, he served as an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He resisted Shuji and criticized Wei Zhongxian for his treason and unethical behavior.
The officials in the imperial court framed each other, often used their words, and cut off their status. After Chongzhen died, Guanglu Qing was appointed, but if he did not join, Ming died and became a monk. He vowed to die not to serve the Manchus.
Ding Yunyi, who is famous all over the world, has arrived, and his wife's friend has also arrived. Xu Yuqing hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare more food and wine, and he wanted to accompany Ding Yunyi to get drunk today.
Xu Yuqing also accompanied Ding Yunyi to drink three cups, and then said while enjoying the wine: "I was in Hangzhou. I also heard of Ding Huben's reputation. He captured Gao Yingxiang alive, defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and defeated Li Zicheng. How generous and heroic I am in the Ming Dynasty.
General, why worry that the world cannot be peaceful?"
"No, you are a real celebrity. You regard your fame as dirt. The court asked you to come out several times, but you declined. This kind of magnanimity is not something that those fake celebrities can have."
Hearing Ding Yunyi praise his beloved husband, Cao Yi Taoist was also happy. Xu Yuqing sighed: "I don't want to go out. Just imagine, first there was Wei Zhongxian, then Wen Tiren, and now Zhou Yanru. These people only know how to fight for power.
Pengbi is a traitor, how many people are really working for the court? Although I, Xu Yuqing, have no ability, I don't even bother to work for these people."
Ding Yunyi admired him in his heart, knowing that Xu Yuqing was talented and upright, and could not be compared to those so-called celebrities who were trying to sell dog meat over their heads. Suddenly, his heart changed: "Sir, since I don't want to be an official under those people, I will
I know of a place where I can show off my talents. I wonder if I would go there?"
"Oh? Where?" Xu Yuqing asked without paying much attention.
"Taiwan!"
"Taiwan?" Xu Yuqing didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, it is Taiwan!" Ding Yunyi nodded: "Ding has the trust of the Holy Father and controls the military and political affairs of Taiwan and Penghu. Talents like Mr. are needed."
"This." Xu Yuqing hesitated: "I'm used to being lazy, and I'm greedy for the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trek."
Ding Yunyi knew that this was his excuse and said with a smile: "Sir, you are in your prime, are you willing to live your life like this? I know, others say that Taiwan is a barbaric land, poor and cold, but they are just some people who have never been there.
Those who have experienced it are presumptuous to speculate. Taiwan is located on the sea and serves as a barrier to the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the eight scenic spots and twelve scenic spots on the island, which are the most beautiful in the world, nor to mention how diligent and hard-working the Taiwanese people are to open up fertile land.
To put it bluntly, in order to guard the barrier for the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan's military and civilians have worked hard. Today, there is the Golden Eagle City, towering, and there are Huben Guards and excellent naval forces outside. They shuttle back and forth. They work together to defend Taiwan and Penghu to the death. Is this such a momentum?
Sir, are you still not tempted?"
Not only Xu Yuqing, but also Gu Hengbo's three daughters heard Ding Yunyi talk about Taiwan in detail for the first time. Even Liu Rushi couldn't help but be attracted by Ding Yunyi's words.
Just listen to Ding Yunyi talking: "We have tens of thousands of tiger guards and navy in Taiwan. We are determined to be pirates internally and fight against the West externally. But with my tiger guards here, we will never allow pirates to wreak havoc in the West and protect Fujian's eternal peace. Previous episode
, the four countries of Thailand and Spain formed a combined fleet to invade Taiwan and Penghu. Fortunately, our Tiger Guards and soldiers fought with one heart and fought bloody battles to defeat the fleet of Thailand and Spain. Such wars may happen often in the future, and we are already prepared. However, we in Taiwan have loyalties.
There are generals who are capable of fighting to the death, but there is no one who is as good at guiding and guiding as the gentleman. Ding Yunyi is a vulgar warrior. If he dares to invite the gentleman and his wife to go to Taiwan with him today, Ding Yunyi will definitely treat him as a guest and will never use it.
Disappointed sir and madam!”
Before Xu Yuqing could answer, Liu Rushi's blood boiled with excitement: "Sir, what are you waiting for? Although I am a woman, I am also moved by Ding Huben's ambition and loyalty to the country. I have no ambition, but I hide in the mountains. Is it possible?
Don’t you feel that your talent has been wronged?”
Xu Yuqing did not hesitate anymore, stood up and bowed deeply to the Taoist priest in grass clothes: "Madam, Master Ding invites you like this, how can I continue to be pretentious? I am worried about you, madam, and I beg you to come to Taiwan with me!"
The Taoist priest stood up and bowed back: "Xu Man, Xu Man, since you are going, why don't I accompany you? We will always be together in life and death."
The word "Xu Man" is not understood by others, but it is the nickname between him and his wife.
Xu Yuqing bowed to Ding Yunyi again: "I went to Taiwan and will be your subordinates from now on. If you have any missions for me, I dare not delay you for a moment. If I have done anything wrong, please forgive me."
Ding Yunyi stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, a talented man came to Taiwan. Ding is very thirsty for talents. Even if he reprimands me in person, Ding will definitely accept my teachings humbly."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and it was a foregone conclusion that Xu Yun would go to Taiwan.
Ding Yunyi had more than that on his mind. He suddenly turned around and saw Liu Rushi, who also bowed her head and said, "Ding Yunyi is so presumptuous as to ask you to come to Taiwan with us!"
Liu Rushi couldn't help but be startled. She had just listened to Ding Yunyi's description of Taiwan. She originally liked traveling around and had already thought about going to Taiwan, but she couldn't say it. At this time, Ding Yunyi was the first to say it, but she hesitated.
Ding Yunyi had already thought of the wording: "Gu Hengbo went to Taiwan, Wang Yue went, Li Xiangjun went, and even Taoist Cao Yi went. The girl is alone here, why don't you go? After arriving in Taiwan,
If the girl doesn't like it, Ding Yunyi will personally send the girl back!"
Gu Hengbo immediately understood what Ding Yunyi was thinking. He had been deceived by this man. He was afraid that he had already made up his mind to "abduct" Liu Rushi to Taiwan when he first saw Liu Rushi.
Gu Hengbo would never have thought that she still underestimated Ding Yunyi. When she entered Hangzhou, her man was already thinking about how to get Liu Rushi to Taiwan.
Although he could see through his man's thoughts, all the good sisters went to Taiwan, leaving Liu Rushi here alone without any relatives. Gu Hengbo couldn't bear it and whispered:
"You're my brother, why don't you go to Taiwan too? It's much better for everyone to take care of each other than for you to stay here alone."
Liu Rushi was a forthright woman. After hearing these words, she no longer hesitated: "I'm just afraid of disturbing Mr. Ding."
When Ding Yunyi heard that she agreed, he was overjoyed, but his face was serious: "What are you talking about? It's an honor for me that the girl is willing to go to Taiwan. Ding Yunyi doesn't dare to neglect the girl."
Gu Hengbo rolled his eyes at Ding Yunyi.
The first one was himself, then Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun, and now it was Liu Rushi's turn. According to his own behavior as a man, he would be able to do whatever he wanted once he got to Taiwan.
