Chapter 254: Cai Family Celebrities, Jingxiang Celebrities
"When she came of age, Huang Yueying was as ugly as Pang Tong, so no one treated her as a woman. When I sat with Kong Ming, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, etc. to discuss the world, she would also join in, and often she would say
Although the words are simple and unpretentious, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu and I know that those are the most useful words.
In fact, the scholars made impassioned speeches, but they pretended to be profound in order to conform to the magnanimity of celebrities. They also knew in their hearts that those big words were just for people to listen to, and the real realization still depends on the details and the real management of finances and politics.
To realize it, Huang Yueying is definitely a great talent in this regard.
Zhuge Kongming, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi and I all know Huang Yueying's talents. We once jokingly asked Huang Yueying if she had any intention of becoming an official. Huang Yueying once said, no matter what a woman is about being an official, my lifelong wish is to marry a sincere person and live an ordinary life.
That’s it.
From then on, we all thought that she would not be an official, and this was in line with secular ethics. Pang Tong used to fundamentally believe that women cannot be officials. He thought that any prince would laugh out loud if he used a woman as an official, so he originally agreed with the emperor.
I will write down four chapters.
But now it seems that Fan Lixiang, the subordinate of the emperor's uncle, is not as unworthy as Pang Tong said. Mrs. Xiao can also understand the general situation and actually helps the emperor's uncle. With the emperor's talent and broad strategy, he employs people in an eclectic way. In this world, everyone can use
Huang Yueying is the only one who has the ear of the emperor.
Huang Yueying came out of the mountain, which was beyond Pang Tong's expectation. Although he didn't know the reason for her sudden appearance, Pang Tong wanted to congratulate the emperor's uncle."
Pang Tong said, and suddenly sighed: "What was lost is harvested in the east, and the emperor's uncle has Huang Yueying. It is much better than some crazy people who don't know the heights of the sky. I hope that the emperor's uncle will not let it go. The emperor's uncle will take care of it. Pang Tong goes to persuade Gao Chi to surrender."
The mountain is a thief."
After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned around, took two steps, stopped, and sighed towards the western sky: "Fengchu, Fengchu, I finally understand what Fengchu is, Fengchu, Fengxiao. A phoenix that has not grown up, no
Grow up, hahaha."
"I haven't grown up, hahaha."
Pang Tong laughed and walked away.
"A madman who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth." Liu Zhang looked at Pang Tong's back and sighed.
"What was lost is harvested in the east, and the emperor's uncle has Huang Yueying. It is much better than some crazy people who don't know the heights of the sky. I hope the emperor will never let it go."
Liu Zhang thought about Pang Tong's words, could Huang Yueying really be so talented? If Huang Yueying was really so talented, could she succeed in her rebellion?
Liu Zhang thought of Xu Zhaoxue's words again. Xu Zhaoxue didn't look like he could lie. Could it be that Huang Yueying had been preparing to surrender to the Sichuan Army?
What was the purpose of dedicating that account book in Huang Wanzhen's name?
I also think about the words Huang Yueying said when she came to seek an official position. Those words were vague and without clear colors. It was really difficult to arouse passion at the time. But now that I think about it, they are plain and simple, but they do make sense.
If Huang Yueying is really going to act according to the current situation, rely on herself or lurk in Sichuan Camp, then she should be even more impassioned.
"Here comes someone."
"exist."
Liu Zhang said to a young general: "Go and find out why the flash flood occurred in Huangjiawan and whether it was man-made."
"yes."
The young general took the order and left. Liu Zhang sighed, if it was artificial, then this matter is worthy of consideration.
Liu Zhang walked into the lobby and waved to Zhang Ren and others to disperse. Fan Lixiang walked past Liu Zhang. After taking two steps, she stopped and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, what did Pang Tong say to you?"
"It's nothing. He praised you and said that you were my helper." Liu Zhang said absently.
"Really? Haha." Fan Lixiang smiled and left with Chen Ying and Bao Long.
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed Fan Lixiang's smile, and then thought about Qin Ming. This woman...
Fazheng looked at Fan Lixiang's back and had a tacit understanding with Liu Zhang. He said to Liu Zhang: "Master, do you want to stop her? Why not take a gamble and let God decide whether Pang Tong's life or death will be decided?"
Liu Zhang was silent.
…………
Fan Lixiang returned to the camp, walked into the tent and said to Chen Ying: "Immediately gather 5,000 strong soldiers. We will attack Zhang Yuegao Chikou camp at night."
"What?" Chen Ying was shocked. He didn't expect Fan Lixiang to make such a decision.
Bao Long said from the side: "Didn't my lord ask Pang Tong to lobby? Why are we still attacking?"
Fan Lixiang looked at Bao Long: "I sent you to publicize the government decree to the people some time ago. Is it stupid to do so? My lord is going to recruit Zhang Yue. Will Zhang Yue be in my lord's eyes? My lord is obviously trying to help Pang Tong.
Leave a way out, either run away or use your merits to redeem yourself, but when I saw Pang Tong leave, he looked like he was definitely not coming back."
Fan Lixiang thought of Pang Tong sighing towards the sky, just like Jing Ke on the bank of Yishui, he would never come back.
Slowly and tightly, he squeezed his five fingers and said: "Pang Tong is extremely talented and cannot be used by the Lord, so he will be killed by the Lord.
Haven't I always said that when dealing with a smart man like Pang Tong, you can't plot against him, you can only wait for the opportunity? Now, the time has come.
Zhang Yue was an old ally of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. He only thought of surrendering because he was worried about the death of his subordinates. His will was not strong. As long as we launched an attack when Pang Tong persuaded him to surrender, Zhang Yue would be light and unprepared and he would surely be able to defeat him with a single blow.
At the same time, Pang Tong, he is dead." Fan Lixiang said slowly.
"But." Bao Long said: "In this case, it is a serious crime for us to mobilize our soldiers without authorization. The lord will not let the general go."
"That's better than Pang Tong becoming our great enemy in the future...Okay, needless to say, go and gather the soldiers."
Bao Long hesitated, not daring to disobey Fan Lixiang's order, so he could only reply: "Yes."
Chen Ying also followed him out of the tent and stopped for a moment at the entrance of the tent. Chen Ying could feel that Fan Lixiang's behavior was indeed different from before. Today, Fan Lixiang did not worry too much and told Liu Zhang about Qu Lingchen's danger.
, which is completely different from the decision made that day on the mountain top.
Fan Lixiang loved two things in the past, one was official position, and the other was life. But after tonight, at least she will lose the former, and at worst, she will lose both. If Liu Zhang intended to leave a choice for Pang Tong, but was disrupted by Fan Lixiang...
…
Chen Ying didn't think about going down and strode down the steps.
…………
"Reporting to my lord, the Huangjiawan flash flood is indeed man-made. According to villagers, they saw someone blocking the mouth of the mountain and river upstream many days ago. And yesterday Huang Yueying summoned the children of the Huang family and deliberately summoned all the people along the mountain and river.
Today Huang Yueying is following Mr. Huang from door to door to compensate villagers whose houses and fields were washed away by floods."
"Isn't Mr. Huang critically ill? Can he even walk on dirt?"
"I suddenly felt better this morning."
Liu Zhang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go down. Now the situation was clear. He remembered Pang Tong's words. The old man of the Huang family obeyed Huang Yueying's words. It seemed like this.
"Come here, prepare your horses and go to Huangjiawan."
…………
When Liu Zhang and his soldiers arrived at Huangjiawan, it was already dark, the light rain had begun to stop, and the moonlight shone dimly through the dark clouds, making the earth dizzy.
Liu Zhang looked up at the sky and said unconsciously: "Xiao He is chasing Han Xin under the moon."
After leading the horse across the temporary bridge built in Huangjiawan, Liu Zhang saw a beautiful picture of the countryside, with terraced fields, mountain fog, scattered houses, paddy fields covered with lotus, weirs and ponds for water storage, and villagers who had just returned home from farming.
He stopped on the high field ridge and looked at Liu Zhang and his party.
Liu Zhang left his soldiers at the entrance of the village and entered the village with a dozen people.
This kind of village is different from ordinary plain villages because it is a mountainous area. The villages are scattered scattered, and most of them are single households. Even if they are courtyards, they only have five or six households.
Except for one main road which was paved with oilstones, the rest were dirt roads. Liu Zhang could not bear to disturb the tranquility of the countryside, and because he enjoyed the tranquility. After crossing the bridge, he did not ride a horse and led the horse forward.
"Old man, do you know where Huang Yueying's home is?" Liu Zhang asked an old man who was passing by with a push rake and rolled up his trousers. His bare feet and calves were covered with dry mud, and his body was covered with mud spots and gray.
His hair and beard look hale and hearty.
But as soon as the old man heard Liu Zhang's question and saw Liu Zhang leading a group of soldiers, he immediately threw down the rake and knelt down to Liu Zhang and kowtowed: "Sir, you must not take Miss Huang away. Miss Huang has done a lot for the village."
A lot of good things have happened. If any family has disasters or diseases, or in times of famine, it is Miss Huang who asks Mr. Huang for help. Look at this rake..."
The old man knelt and moved away, protruding the push rake, and said earnestly: "We used to level the fields by hand. Since we got this push rake, I don't know how much work has been saved. Miss Huang did it for us.
You must not capture Miss Huang. If you want to capture her, just capture me, an old man."
Wang Xu and other soldiers also looked at the push harrow with curiosity. Sure enough, they had never seen it in their hometown. It was a flat solid wooden board with a handle on the top for easy pushing forward and many iron nails on the bottom. It was indeed suitable for plowing fields.
Liu Zhang helped the old man up, but the old man knelt stubbornly and refused to get up. Liu Zhang said: "Old man, get up. We are not here to arrest Miss Huang. We just want to ask for directions and pay a visit."
"Sir, don't bully me. You are leading the army. Why are you visiting a girl? I heard that a new official has arrived in Jingzhou. Now the officers and soldiers are arresting people everywhere. Today, the whole family of two big Ma family members in the village were arrested.
Even the old man hiding in the cave didn't escape. I don't believe you..."
As the old man spoke, he suddenly glanced left and right, picked up his push rake and crossed it in front of the road. He said loudly: "If you want to go over, just step over the old man's body."
An old man with a beard and a glare is in charge of everything.
Two soldiers stepped forward, but the old man raised the rake and smashed it. The soldiers did not dare to thrust their spears, and were forced to retreat one after another. With a loud grunt, he handed two sledgehammers to one hand, stepped forward, and the other
One hand directly grasped the iron nail that pushed the rake, and with his fat body supporting the old man, he snatched the nail rake away.
The old man had no weapon in his hand and sat on the ground crying.
"You thieves officers and soldiers, those who chop off your heads will not die a good death. If you catch Miss Huang, throw her feet off and do it with your hands, even the Lord of Hell will not be able to spare you."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was about to ask his soldiers to fight off the old man, when a voice came over.
"Uncle Emperor, what's the matter, is it fun to bully a common man?"
Liu Zhang looked back and saw Huang Yueying walking slowly down a side road. When the old man saw Huang Yueying, he shouted quickly: "My daughter, run quickly, run quickly, they are here to catch you."
Huang Yueying walked up to the old man and helped the old man up on the ground, "Second father-in-law, go back. If you don't go back, second grandma will scream."
As soon as Huang Yueying finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from afar: "Old man. He's back for dinner. Old man..."
The old man glanced at Huang Yueying worriedly, and Huang Yueying gave him a reassuring smile. The old man shouted in the direction of the shout: "I'm back..." with a long tail, he picked up the rake and strode away.
Liu Zhang was suddenly moved by this scene. This was the most simple rural picture. Compared with his own battles and killings, it was much simpler and more beautiful.
"Wang Xu. Go back and pass the order. Except for the descendants of the aristocratic family, no one is allowed to kill the common people. The servants and servants of the aristocratic family who participated will only kill one person and do not implicate their wives and children."
There were many people who participated in the rebellion. Liu Zhang had always treated them as ignorant people before. However, in order to not disrupt their peaceful lives, the people had a desire to resist. It was not a big mistake. Some families would also accumulate kindness, like Huang Yueying.
Generally speaking, there are many ordinary people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for them from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yes." Wang Xu agreed.
Huang Yueying smiled at Liu Zhang and said: "What, has Uncle Huang discovered his conscience? Or does he regret letting me go today and wants to take me back?"
"Liu Zhang is here to ask the girl to help."
"I told you not to regret it. It's too late to regret it now. I'm going back to eat. Goodbye." Huang Yueying turned around and walked forward. The speed was not fast, and Liu Zhang followed with his soldiers.
"If a girl benefits the people in the village, why not serve in the government? Isn't it possible to benefit more people?"
"The little girl is not a chivalrous girl. She has no benevolence in the world. It is enough to benefit Huangjiawan. What's more..." Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang: "Following you, can you benefit the people? Look at the land you have walked on, which
Is the life of the local people better than before?"
"That's why we need girls to come out."
"My rebellion attempt failed, do you want it too?"
"That was an attempt to cause trouble by gathering a crowd."
Huang Yueying smiled and walked to a corner. As soon as she turned around, she suddenly shrank back and said to Liu Zhang: "It's over. My mother is at the door. If she sees you, she will definitely not let me surrender to you. It's over, it's over.
, you’d better leave first, don’t let my mother see you.”
Liu Zhang smiled inwardly, but Huang Yueying was just a tough talker.
At the same time, I am more curious about the reason why Huang Yueying takes effect.
"Why are you afraid of your mother? If you want to serve the government, you will become famous. How can she stop you?"
"That's called disobedience and unfilial piety. Don't you know what the relationship between the family and you is? My mother is from the famous Cai family, and my father is from the Huang family. If they know that I want to join you, they will beat me to death."
Liu Zhang was awe-inspiring. It was indeed normal for these clans to treat the children who betrayed the clan to death. He whispered to Huang Yueying: "Then will you come with me now?"
Huang Yueying glanced at Liu Zhang: "How to leave? Elope?"
Huang Yueying thought for a while: "No one wearing armor is allowed to pass."
Liu Zhang looked around and saw that he was the only one wearing cloth. Wang Xu immediately said: "No, we must follow the lord."
Liu Zhang had been assassinated twice, and Wang Xu no longer dared to be careless. Now it was not safe for these dozen people to follow Wang Xu. All the soldiers at the entrance of the village were on horseback, ready for reinforcements at any time.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt your lord." Huang Yueying said.
Although Liu Zhang didn't know why Huang Yueying was so sure, he still believed her words from the bottom of his heart for some reason. He rolled his eyes and snorted, "This is not easy."
After saying this, he took off the armor on his body, leaving only the close-fitting clothes attached to his strong body, as strong as an ox.
Although the Huang family is a big family, you can't tell from the outside. Even the servants and maids only have two or three servants. Although the large courtyard is richer than ordinary families, it doesn't look like a big family, and it looks more quiet.
Huang Yueying took Liu Zhang and He Haoshi to the door. A woman was washing clothes at the door. She was an old lady, but she looked pretty. She was Huang Yueying's mother Cai Shi, the eldest sister of Cai Mao and Cai Ming.
Mrs. Cai raised her head and glanced at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang felt that she was somewhat similar to Cai Ming.
Look at Huang Yueying again, how can such a beautiful mother give birth to such a daughter? It seems that the genetic mutation is indeed not a fabrication.
Mrs. Cai wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Liu Zhang in surprise, "Daughter, who are these two people?"
"Oh, this young man's name is Dong Yong, and this is his eldest brother Dong Daniu." Huang Yueying introduced seriously.
Dong Yong, do you think you are the Seventh Fairy?
Mrs. Cai asked again: "What are they doing here?"
"They came to propose marriage to you and dad." Huang Yueying said calmly.
"real?"
In Liu Zhang's astonished eyes, Mrs. Cai suddenly stood up, glanced at Liu Zhang, turned around and ran back to the courtyard. She completely lost the temperament of a famous lady and shouted towards the courtyard: "Old man, come out quickly.
Someone has come to propose marriage, and they have met my daughter."
Seeing Mrs. Cai's excitement, Liu Zhanghe was completely stunned. Huang Yueying showed her hands to Liu Zhang: "I just said this trick is very effective."
After a while, I saw Huang Chengyan running out of the hall door holding a wine bottle, three steps at a time, and almost fell down on the threshold.
Everyone is a socialite, a celebrity from Jingxiang... Liu Zhang secretly thought to himself, what did Huang Yueying's marriage force her parents to do?
Huang Chengyan came out with a wine bottle, looked Liu Zhang up and down, grabbed Liu Zhang's hand and pulled him in, and hurried to follow. Mrs. Cai also entered the kitchen happily, leaving Huang Yueying alone at the end, unhappy.
"Oh, son-in-law, you may not think that my daughter is good-looking, but this person has to pay attention to inner beauty, isn't it? I, my daughter, must be careful to be kind." Huang Chengyan moved the little girl to Liu Zhang and sat side by side.
He said while pouring wine for Liu Zhang.
At this time, Mrs. Cai came up with a plate of peas, a smile on her face, "By the way, son-in-law, where are you from?"
