Chapter 168 II 33. Narrow-minded
Tongbat was bound and tied to a horse, and all thoughts were lost.He remembered that in the past, he told Tian Erya that he was his backer, so that she would not have to worry about anything.However, when she was being bullied, he couldn't do anything.He suddenly realized deeply that the hemp rope is only picked at the fine point, and the bad luck is only picked at the poor.When he was weak, he was like duckweed, unable to fulfill his promise in front of Tian Erya, and Tian Erya was enduring all kinds of suffering.His tears flowed slowly...

Li Hu was ordered by Tong Bak to stay and had to return to the barracks.

Tong Bak's entourage advised: "Leader, I just saw the young master weeping on the horse's back."

"A man bleeds but doesn't shed tears, look at his promise." Tombak snorted.

"Li Hu is sent by the master to be the young master's guard to ensure the safety of the young master. Should he also be allowed to go back to the northwest with the young master?"

"No need. Since Bart dared to let Li Hu escort others to my place, and didn't leave Lin Hu by his side to protect him, it means that it's okay for him to have no one to protect him." Tong Bake flipped through the book, reading with relish.

"Xie Ling, I heard that the young master has been looking for people with portraits in the nearby villages these two days. Is that person very important? Shall we help him find it?"

"Leave him alone. His territory is in the northwest, and he stretches his hand to the northeast, which is too long." Tombak waved his hand, "You talk a lot today. I'm reading a book, don't bother me."

The entourage hurriedly silenced and dared not speak again.

In the future, when Tongba Ke thought of this scene, he wanted to give himself two big slaps.It was he who was too indifferent to his younger brother and broke his heart, so that there was a rift in the relationship between the brothers.

As the year approached, the imperial court sent Prince Lai Su to Ninggu Pagoda to appease the soldiers.

As soon as Prince Su's feet landed on the boundary of Ninggu Pagoda, Tsarist Russia, also known as the Raksha people and Lao Maozi, led a fleet to invade the Songhua River.The war started instantly.Prince Su was scolding in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, and went to the banner camps to condolences to the soldiers with a smile on his face.

Qixiang heard that the prince came to their camp, so he stood at the door early to receive him.

Prince Su laughed: "I heard that you wrote the article praising Changbai Mountain? Not bad, you are talented!"

"My lord praises me. I don't dare to be a villain. Thanks to the importance my sage and my lord attach to Changbai Mountain, the villain has this opportunity to express his gratitude through this article."

"You don't have to be humble, kid. The emperor was very moved after reading your article. You described the majestic momentum and important strategic position of Changbai Mountain in a poem as "Yizi Mountain is so majestic, it stands out from the other mountains." Sovereign. "The writing is really good! Also, Changbai Mountain has a broad and vast mountain range, and peaks that are as high as the sky. What kind of group are you writing?"

Qixiang couldn't recite it, he hesitated.

King Suqing lowered his face: "I forgot the poem I wrote."

Qixiang laughed: "It's been too long, the villain really can't remember."

"I don't think you wrote that article, so you can't remember it."

Qi Xiang broke out in cold sweat: "My lord, villains dare not bully you."

Prince Su raised his eyebrows: "Do you still know how to deceive the emperor? Humph! This king saw the clue when he received the letter from General Duo to submit the poem. Are you wondering how many bottles of ink you have in your stomach? Can you write such a gorgeous poem?" Rhetoric. Who wrote it? Call him over to show me. I don’t blame you.”

Qixiang had no choice but to send someone to find Zheng Yuansheng.

Prince Su saw that Zheng Yuansheng was wearing a tattered prison uniform, but he treated it indifferently, saluting neither humble nor overbearing, and nodded secretly: "It seems that you are a scholar, and this king has the upper couplet here, you come to the second couplet. "

Zheng Yuansheng's eyes lit up, this was the poem "Ode to Changbai Mountain" he presented for the imperial court.The prince asked him to answer, which obviously meant something else.He couldn't hide his excitement: "Thousands of rocks cut jade to save it."

"Northeast of Changbaixiong, Saga's Fusai Prefecture."

"Facing the dawn of the sea, standing alone in the wild autumn."

Prince Su showed appreciation in his eyes: "What is behind the white snow across thousands of peaks and the blue sky?"

Zheng Yuansheng is as good as others: "If you can do Dengfeng, you should wait for Cuihuayou."

"You wrote this poem?"

"Yes."

Prince Su nodded: "Why did you commit the crime?"

Zheng Yuansheng said: "The grassroots don't know either."

"What? I don't know why he was sentenced and exiled in Ninggu Tower?"

"Grassman is originally a scholar. This year, he passed the scientific examination. The adult who judged the case said that someone cheated in the scientific examination in the inn where we stayed. As a suspect, I can't get rid of the suspicion of cheating."

Prince Su smiled: "That's the reason! You can't prove your innocence, the court can only think that you are in league with them."

Zheng Yuan bowed his head and remained silent.

"What? Am I wrong?"

"Don't dare, my lord Shengming."

Prince Su shook his head: "You scholars are always a bit inconsistent and hypocritical! But your articles are very good, and I like them very much. Qixiang, it's a pity for scholars to do rough work. You can arrange some writing and teaching for him. work."

"Yes." Qixiang agreed.

"Also, I heard that you arranged for the sinners to live in the sheepfold. They have committed crimes, but they are not livestock. You should at least set up a tent for them to shelter, lest outsiders say you are mean."

A few words from Prince Su made Zheng Yuansheng and the others turn around in their lives, and they no longer had to do the heavy work of moving stones and chopping firewood.However, Qixiang was narrow-minded, seeing Zheng Yuansheng and other prisoners being praised by the royal family, he would find some excuses to make things difficult from time to time.

On the day of the New Year's Eve, Ninggu Pagoda began to snow again.According to the usual practice, the various prefectures arranged for the slaves to rest and prepare ingredients for the New Year, allowing them to have a richer meal for one day a year.The slaves were all happy, gathering together for a rare moment of relaxation.

When Qixiang went out, he saw Zheng Yuansheng, Shan Tong and others gathering together, chatting and laughing happily, and came up with a bad idea, asking them to go to the suburbs to collect firewood.

Zheng Yuansheng and the others were unwilling to go out in the ice and snow, and they dared not to go, so they had to leave the tent with complaints and helplessness.

In the suburbs at this moment, the snow is endless and white.In the distance, a dozen soldiers spread out dozens of fur sweaters and wiped them with snow over and over again, and Tian Erya was among them.

Tian Erya was very interested in the method of scrubbing mink fur clothes and wolf fur mattresses with snow.I heard from the soldiers that rubbing the fur with snow will keep it clean and not shed.She was tired from work, and as usual, she wrote Zheng Yuansheng and her name on the snow for fun.

A soldier came over: "Er Zhuzi, you have been writing all these days, just write the characters 'sheng' and 'ya'. Do you only write these two names?"

Tian Erya laughed: "These two words are the best to write."

The team leader yelled: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. I finally cleaned all these furs a year ago, and everyone started to load the cars. In the afternoon, I will give you a holiday."

Everyone happily moved the furs to the car, got on the sleigh and sang loudly and drove back.

Zheng Yuansheng and Shan Tong walked on the knee-high snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, envious of the sleigh cars speeding past in the distance.
