Chapter 327 Great Victory in the Southwest
Wu Mei's belly is already big.
Zhang Tianxia led people to follow her by her side all day long, not daring to slack off at all.
At the moment Wu Mei is feeding the fish.
In the small pool, the fish swim slowly.
"These fish are carefree, like children."
Wu Mei clapped her hands, and someone behind her said: "Zhaoyi, someone from the queen's side said that there is a shortage of manpower in the palace, and they want to draw five people from us to help."
"Too much deceit!" Zhang Tianxia said, "Zhaoyi, last time the Empress asked our people to help...but she did the cleaning, and she even asked our people to clean the well."
Wu Mei's brows were calm, "Give her as much as you want."
Zhang Tianxia bowed his head, "Yes."
"Does anyone feel wronged?" Wu Mei turned around and looked at everyone.
Someone hesitated for a moment, some looked up, and some lowered their heads.
This is the case in the palace, most closely related to red top and white.
"If you feel wronged, you don't have to go." Wu Mei's tone was calm.
No one dared to say that they were wronged, so they picked five people to go to the Queen's side.
Wu Mei looked around, "My place is also dirty, so I have to clean it up. In addition... the hall is also cleaned up."
Everyone around her was driven to work, and Wu Mei stood alone by the pool.
Li Zhi brought people over from the side, and seeing Wu Mei standing there alone, he frowned and asked, "Where is the person?"
Wu Mei suddenly realized that he was coming, and hurriedly saluted.
"What kind of ceremony are you doing now?" Li Zhi supported her, turned around and saw that several palace people here were working, and asked: "I remember that there are more than these people here, what about the others?"
There was a dangerous light in his eyes, Wang Zhongliang knew that those people were going to be in trouble.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "The queen said there was not enough manpower, so the concubine sent some people there."
Looking at her, Li Zhi suddenly roared angrily, "Ask the queen, there are not enough manpower, how about I help?"
Wang Zhongliang ran away in fright, and later went to scold the queen.
When he came back, he brought five people from Wu Mei's side.
After Li Zhi left, Zhang Tianxia said happily: "Zhaoyi, it seems that His Majesty still prefers our side the most."
"You..." Wu Mei looked at him, "The emperor has never had any preference."
Li Zhi just wanted to clean up the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu, and Wu Mei's doing so gave him an excuse to get mad. At present, it seems that there is a tacit understanding between the two, and there is room for further cooperation.
"If you think this is the favor of the emperor, sooner or later we will become the second queen."
Wu Mei was as calm as cold-blooded.
"Zhaoyi, Uncle Wuyang is already waiting in front."
The corners of Wu Mei's mouth twitched slightly, "He is willing to tell Concubine Xiao Shu a story, but he has forgotten the hard work of bringing the child here."
Zhang Tianxia said with a smile: "Uncle Wuyang told a story, it is said that there are people surrounded inside and outside."
"I don't know how he made up the story, so that Concubine Xiao Shu can't forget it."
When talking about Concubine Xiao Shu, Wu Mei was very calm, completely different from talking about Queen Wang.
When we got to the front, Jia Ping'an was already waiting.
Wu Mei stood outside the hall, leaning back slightly because of her big belly, and asked, "Tell me, what is this child?"
this…
Historically a son.
Besides, this son is deeply loved by you and his wife. Unfortunately, he finally got tuberculosis, and his health has been poor, so he passed away early.
"He must be a prince." Jia Ping'an was very sure.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "If you are a prince, let His Majesty reward you."
The two sat down, asked each other about each other's situation, and then Jia Pingan began to tell stories.
"...A group of mice stared at the granary. They sneaked up in the dark. When they entered the granary, they saw that it was full of rice noodles. The mice were very happy. Some mice said, 'The black cat is probably sleeping. Hurry up. Carrying...'"
After Jia Pingan told a story, Wu Mei actually leaned on the side and fell asleep.
Everyone was speechless.
Wu Mei woke up later, feeling much better, "I just took a nap, and I felt relaxed all over."
It's really tiring in the late pregnancy, so Wu Mei was a little curious, "You said this is for children."
“Although the child is still in the womb, he can perceive some movements from the outside world. Telling some relaxing stories at this moment, or reciting beautiful poems and articles, will be of great benefit to the child in the future.”
"This is what the mother of Zhou Wenwang said." Wu Mei thought for a while, "I don't see evil, I don't listen to lewd voices, I can't speak obscene words, so I can use prenatal education."
Fuck!
Jia Ping'an found that he was far behind his ancestors.
King Wen of Zhou had prenatal education at that time, and it was quite advanced.
"This story is good, you write it, and I will read it to the children."
So Jia Pingan had another task.
Back home, Ah Fu came to pester him for a while, Jia Pingan asked, "Why?"
Du He laughed and said: "Ah Fu went out today, someone fed him meat, but he refused to eat it, so he went home and grabbed Ming Jing's lunch."
here you go!
Jia Pingan rubbed the top of Ah Fu's head, and Ah Fu took advantage of the trend to climb up.
"I can't hug you anymore!"
Jia Pingan struggled to pick up Ah Fu, feeling like he was holding a large doll.
Chirp!
Ah Fu happily called out to Ming Jing who came out.
"Ah Fu is hostile to me." Ming Jing stretched out her hand calmly, and Ah Fu caught it with her claws. If she hadn't withdrawn quickly, that slender hand would have turned into a rag doll.
Jia Pingan didn't know why, so he said, "Maybe it's a mismatch."
"What do you mean?" Ming Jing was helpless.
"It's just...you don't like it, and it doesn't like you."
Jia Pingan entered the study and began to write the story.
The rats and black cat bad guys will become good partners of Datang children, it would be great if they can develop peripherals.
Ming Jing followed in, picked up a book and flipped through it, "I found you are a weirdo."
"Why?" Jia Ping'an was thinking about the details. Today he found that Sister's mental state was not very good, so he had to think of a way.
Seeing that he didn't raise his head, Ming Jing felt that this person was indeed a gentleman, and he was not tempted by beauty, "You can obviously become a master by relying on your new knowledge, why do you want to enter the officialdom? Don't talk about bastards, if you are willing to accept I am a disciple, no one can threaten you..."
This woman!
The sole purpose of her efforts is to learn the part of the new school that has not been disclosed to the outside world.
"gentlemen."
Zhao Yan came, Ming Jing didn't want to leave, she wanted to steal the teacher.
Jia Pingan looked at her.
Zhao Yan looked at him.
Ming Jing pursed her mouth and went out.
"Today I will tell you about physics..."
There was teaching inside, and Ming Jing wandered around the periphery in an itch, every time he wanted to get closer, Du He would come over with a smile.
In Du He's view, Mr. Lang's knowledge is unmatched, and if it is passed on to his descendants, the old Jia's family will naturally be able to preserve their wealth for thousands of years.
Look at the sage’s family. From the time when Confucianism was the only one, it gradually developed. If the old Jia’s family also became such a family...
Du He felt that he could also go down in history with his name.
Late lectures ended, and dinner began.
After dinner, Ming Jing came to the study again.
"I have a good fist."
"I can protect you."
"I don't eat much."
"I swear…"
Ming Jing found that Jia Pingan was indifferent to what she said, so she raised her hand, "I swear, if I teach others new things without your permission, let me..."
Her cheeks trembled, with a look of fear, "Just let me be haunted by ghosts for the rest of my life."
It is rare for a woman not to be afraid of ghosts. This oath contains a lot of gold.
Jia Ping'an looked up, "What do you want to learn?"
Seeing him let go, Ming Jing approached, "I want to learn how to make alchemy."
"There is no knowledge of alchemy in Xinxue, and pills are just a false proposition for Xinxue."
Jia Pingan didn't want to continue this topic.
"There must be." Ming Jing's almond eyes were full of melancholy, "Why don't you teach me? I have already said that I will worship you as my teacher, and I will be my teacher for a day..."
"Someone is not your father."
If you want to learn well, you have to sleep with the master!
Jia Ping'an felt that such women should be less provoked, so as not to be chopped up one day.
Ming Jing picked up a book, "But last time I heard you talking in your sleep, talking about cultivation."
"What did someone say?" Jia Ping'an never felt that he had the ability to talk in his sleep.
Well!
This girl...
But I actually said such nonsense?
Jia Pingan knew that if he didn't make it clear, Ming Jing would pester her frequently in the future, so he said seriously: "That's a dream, it can't be true, here's a story, read it."
He threw the white snake to Ming Jing.
Ming Jing looked at it, and her heart turned cold.
"The new learning is not about alchemy. The new learning is about refining people. It makes people learn to look at the world and think about everything in the world. This is a new learning. As for longevity, Ming Jing..."
Jia Ping'an stretched out his hand, but Ming Jing didn't dodge it.
Jia Ping'an's hand stopped before Ming Jing's forehead, "Look at what can live forever? No words, no words, no love, no righteousness, no eating or drinking stones, dirt...they can't live forever. Stones will weather Turn into dust, and the soil will be merged into the earth. Those ruthless and unrighteous things that don’t eat or drink can’t live forever, how can you expect creatures that eat and drink all day long to ascend to heaven?”
"Someone **** the wind and drinks the dew." Ming Jing's faith is gradually collapsing.
"Does it require laxation to **** the wind and drink the dew? Do you need to use the human body? There are bigu, but those who do not eat it may never eat it? Let me put it in the simplest way..."
Jia Pingan stretched out his arm.
There is no long body hair, praise!
"Whether you are in the city or in the deep mountains and rivers, you will sweat when it is hot, right?"
Ming Jing nodded.
"When it's cold, you need to add more clothes, right?"
Ming Jing nodded again.
"Hot and cold are both sensed by the human body and will respond. For example, if it is hot, it will dissipate heat through sweat; No matter what you do, your body will continue to age.
Maybe some people can live to be more than a hundred years old, but that is only rare. "
Jia Ping'an felt that this female Taoist priest was insane, "It's like a young girl cultivating Taoism. When she is forty or fifty years old, will her body and skin be as good as before?"
He looked at Ming Jing, "Are you now the same as when you first practiced Taoism?"
Ming Jing shook her head.
"There is no immortality in this world, and there is no ascension, the only thing there is... Cultivation of the mind!"
Ming Jing's face was pale, "Then master said that there are monsters everywhere in the world, and you need to cultivate a pair of wisdom eyes and a wisdom sword to kill demons and eliminate demons."
Jia Pingan smiled, "The first thing people want to be at ease is to cultivate their minds. Some people can't move their minds in the busy city; , Greed and hatred cause people to suffer, people wallow in the world of mortals full of greed and hatred, suffering, this is hell..."
"The world is hell?" Ming Jing was surprised.
"What is an evildoer?" Jia Pingan said seriously: "Greed and hatred are evildoers. But Huijian is not indifferent, and greed and hatred are born in the heart. Use inaction as a sword, just cut it off."
He feels that he has been consummated.
Ming Jing was shocked, and grabbed Jia Ping'an's hand, "Then what is freedom?"
Jia Pingan glanced at her hand...Brother is not your master!
Jia Pingan said: "The so-called great freedom... People are born to eat, drink, and sleep. This is why they are greedy and angry. This is why they are addicted to wine, **** and wealth, and they are suffering without knowing it. If you want to be at ease, you must break the wine The four walls of wealth and energy. The so-called jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements, when you look down on gains and losses, you will be at ease."
"Jump out of the three realms, not in the five elements..."
Ming Jing let go of her hand, and took a few steps back.
With the candlelight rippling, Jia Ping'an sat there with a halo behind his head.
Ming Jing suddenly stopped.
Jia Ping'an put his palms together first, and then hurriedly bowed his head.
"I still don't get it."
Ming Jing ran away, went back to the room and lay down.
Jia Pingan felt that this girl was full of food.
…
At night, Jia Ping'an slept well, but he heard a knock on the door.
"who?"
"I!"
Ming Jing's voice came in the middle of the night, and Jia Pingan shuddered, "What's the matter?"
"Since you said that you want to crack down on greed and hatred, you have to jump out of the four walls to be comfortable, then why are you... You are an official in Baiqi, you look at women's **** first and then their faces, the more you drink, the more excited you are, and you earn money I'm happy to see you... You feel aggrieved and you still yell and scold, aren't these greed and hatred?"
"Isn't a monk!" Jia Pingan wanted to die, so he dropped a sentence casually, "Some people are born to seek freedom, and some people enter the world to seek perfection. No matter what, if you have a goal in your heart, you can reach the same goal by different routes."
It became quiet outside, and Jia Ping'an felt that his tricks had improved a lot, so he went to sleep!
"How can one seek consummation when one enters the WTO?"
Jia Ping suppressed his anger, "Greed and hatred are constant, and the world is like the world of mortals. It is better to roll around in the world of mortals, feel greed and hatred, experience greed and hatred, and finally look down on greed and hatred. In fact, in a word, you are human. People need to eat and drink when they live Lazar, it’s a matter of course. Greed and hatred are the afflictions that are caused by it. Some people don’t like these afflictions, so they stay away from the world of mortals. Do you understand?”
There was silence outside the door.
Jia Pingan thinks this woman is true, "The so-called freedom, the so-called monkhood, this is just a life attitude, understand? There is no immortality, you will cry when you see someone suffering, and you will give alms. Suffering, so I broke through life, have no desires, no desires, and be at peace with the situation, this is a god."
A Fuba, who was sleeping sprawled in his own room, clicked his lips, feeling that Xiong Sheng was very refreshing.
Ming Jing’s voice came from outside the door, “Then since you have found out, why are you still nostalgic for the world of mortals?”
"Because someone thinks that the world of mortals is interesting."
Jia Pingan waited for a while, and the sound of footsteps outside faded away.
In the early morning of the next day, Jia Pingan got up, yawned and went out.
Ming Jing has already started practicing boxing and kicking.
Seeing Jia Ping'an, she cupped her hands, "You have great wisdom, and I benefited a lot last night. If Master was here, I would have had a great conversation with you. In fact, I feel that the world of mortals...is not bitter."
This girl finally got the answer.
Not long after arriving at Baiqi, I heard someone cheering outside.
"Victory in the Southwest!"
Jia Pingan was overjoyed, "But Baishuiman?"
No one answered, so Jia Pingan simply went out to see by himself.
As soon as the hundred riders came out, the officials on both sides were cheering.
Jia Pingan caught an official and asked, "But is the Southwest pacified?"
The official said: "General Manager Zhao led the army to attack the Baishui Man. Those barbarians led the army to fight and were defeated by General Manager Zhao. Then it snowed heavily, and most of those barbarians froze to death. Then General Manager Zhao led the army to hunt down and capture many enemy chiefs. Those barbarians who guarded also died Death, descending, the southwest is pacified."
"Director Zhao defeated Baishuiman, and then it snowed heavily. It can be seen that God blesses Datang! Hahahaha!"
All the officials around are laughing, that kind of pride...
"Long time no see!"
This time the Southwest Barbarians attacked prefectures and counties. If it were Daming, it would probably be equivalent to the She'an Rebellion.
This is Datang's strength.
Jia Pingan looked at those officials excitedly, thinking of the later Nanzhao Rebellion.
It is necessary to plan ahead and stabilize the southwest area, so that Datang can let go and see the world.
"Uncle Wuyang!"
A small official rushed over, "The general is calling."
"Which general?"
Jia Ping'an suffered too much, and asked subconsciously.
"Lu Guogong."
Sure enough, it wasn't Liang Jianfang.
Fuck it, if you make a mistake, you will inevitably be yelled at later.
Jia Pingan went all the way to Zuo Tunwei.
"Zhao Xiaozu did a good job. He defeated the enemy in the first battle, and then the heavy snow made the enemy unable to resist, but Zhao Xiaozu refused to stop. He pursued all the way, and finally settled the southwest in one battle."
Liang Jianfang's voice is very loud, which can be said to be full of energy.
"Xiao Jia is here."
Cheng Zhijie beckoned, Jia Pingan went in and saw a map on the table.
Liang Jianfang pointed to the southwest direction. Jia Pingan saw that someone had drawn a few lines on it.
"Look at Zhao Xiaozu's march, well done."
Liang Jianfang was very pleased and said: "You are not bad."
What does have to do with me?
Jia Ping'an was puzzled.
Cheng Zhijie and Liang Jianfang looked at him and suddenly laughed.
Su Dingfang said: "What did you say? You said that Xiao Jia is definitely not the one to ask for credit, right? Hahahaha!"
What credit?
Jia Ping'an is really puzzled, but... let's pretend first.
So he looked like an honest child.
Cheng Zhijie said: "Horseshoes were mentioned in Zhao Xiaozu's victory report, saying that the terrain over there is complicated and there are many mountain roads. With horseshoes, cavalry can chase all the way without fear of hurting the horseshoes. And with horseshoes, carts can also be pulled. Lots and lots...Horseshoes are the hero behind the scenes, Jay! Good boy!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cheng Zhijie patted Jia Pingan on the shoulder, "This old man has just entered the memorial, and I am asking for credit for Zhao Xiaozu and the horseshoe. Young people, work hard! We old things are watching you!"
"yes."
This Tang Dynasty is positive and upward. The old generals did not cherish themselves, but actively cultivated young generals, and they will bear fruit in the years to come.
And Jia Ping'an won the attention of the old men, who supported him and maintained him several times.
"Do it well!" Liang Jianfang smiled and looked at him with gentle eyes.
"Go back and ask the old man if you don't understand." Su Dingfang smiled happily.
