Swallow north and eastern Thailand area the great drought, people have no means to make a living, the refugee rises from all directions in successive years, urgently needed royal government disaster relief.” “……燕北、泰东一带连年大旱,民不聊生,流民四起,急需朝廷救灾。” The royal courtiers are in a tumult slightly, talk in whispers. 众朝臣微微骚动,窃窃私语。 The emperor lifted the eyelid, is somewhat discontented: 皇帝抬了抬眼皮,有些不满: „The year before last great drought, last year great drought, this year dry, the royal government the disaster relief, what result has not actually seen year after year, the cabin grain in storage and do state treasury money few...... like Sir/minister can/but having the respected opinion actually year by year?” “前年大旱,去年大旱,今年又旱,朝廷年年救灾,却未见什么成效,倒是官仓存粮、国库银子一年比一年少……诸位爱卿可有高见？” The people look at each other in blank dismay, slow of speech speechless. 众人面面相觑,讷讷无言。 At this time, right Qin Songyue numerous, respectful sound said: „In memorializing the emperor Saint, according to seeing of old minister, when Saint high and low aim construction the view of emperor is completed, the cauldron decides the meritorious achievements, makes clear to the heaven, the natural good crop weather, famine year changes the good harvest year.” 这时,右相秦松越众而出,恭声道:“启奏圣上,依老臣之见,待圣上下旨修建的天子之观完成,鼎定功业,昭示上天,自然风调雨顺,灾年变丰年。” The view of emperor, referred to is that big pile of strange marvelous sight constructions, is still constructing...... 天子之观,指的便是那一大堆稀奇古怪的奇观建筑,至今还在修建…… Emperor hears word, smiles: 皇帝闻言,笑了笑: „Qin Aiqing said is really, We made the world construct the view of emperor, was for this reason. Now has not completed, slow aid will not help in an emergency, these two place great droughts, must manage at present after all.” “秦爱卿所言甚是,朕让天下修建天子之观,便是为此。只是如今尚未完成,远水解不了近渴,这两地大旱,眼下终归要管。” „In Saint wise.” Qin Song lowered the head to draw back. “圣上英明。”秦松低头退回去。 About the emperor looked at one, selected one last year the minister who is responsible for reliefing disaster: „Liked the Sir/minister reliefing disaster last year, the result was still permissible, today can have the strategy?” 皇帝左右看了一眼,点了一位去年负责赈灾的大臣:“爱卿去年赈灾,收效尚可,今日可有计策？” This minister looked at Qin Song quietly, immediately bright sound said: 这大臣悄然看了眼秦松,随即朗声道: „Only can as before, thin Shuiqing bestow on, adjusts grain uses/gives porridge/gruel, reliefs the disaster victims...... in addition, has no other alternative.” “只能像往年一样,薄税轻赋,调粮施粥,赈济灾民……除此之外,别无他法。” The emperor nods, will say anything. 皇帝点点头,正要说什么。 This minister actually continued saying that added: 这大臣却继续讲了下去,补充道: „In successive years the disaster situation, causing the northern bandit to run amuck, rebels everywhere, if not handle, the matter of disaster relief will have many obstructions.” “只是连年灾情,导致北方贼寇横行,四处作乱,若不加以处置,赈灾之事会有诸多阻挠。” „?” The emperor knits the brows: „Has this matter unexpectedly?” “哦？”皇帝皱眉:“竟有此事？” The minister nods: „Drought is the disaster, but has the evildoer gets makes it the man-made disaster, coerces the disaster victims to attack the state capital, causing regional state capitals not to dare Kaesong relief, even the county city was looted by the disaster victims, bad.” 大臣点头:“旱情乃是天灾,但却有贼子将其变作人祸,裹挟灾民冲击州府,致使各地州府不敢开城救济,甚至还有县城遭灾民洗劫,恶劣至极。” „That likes Sir/minister can/but having the law of handling?” “那诸位爱卿可有处置之法？” The emperor looks to the people. 皇帝看向众人。 Suddenly another royal courtier more numerous, cold say/way: „Starving to death matter is small, being disloyal matter is big, even if these disaster victims are destitute and homeless, is not the reason of defying one's superiors, when dispatches troops to suppress, kills warning others against following a bad example!” 忽然另一位朝臣越众而出,冷然道:“饿死事小,失节事大,这些灾民就算流离失所,也不是犯上作乱的理由,当出兵镇压,杀之以儆效尤！” hears word, Qin Song hurried, said: 闻言,秦松赶忙走出来,道: „Not may, north that the bandit is rampant, according to seeing of old minister, when this matter is primarily comforting. Your majesty may under the aim offer amnesty several big invaders, manifest the emperor's graciousness, the command they suppress other bandits again, so the banditry then disappears, but, can save many land taxes without firing a single bullet.” “万万不可,那北地贼寇猖獗,依老臣之见,此事当以安抚为主。陛下可下旨招安其中几支大寇,体现皇恩,再号令他们去镇压其他贼寇,如此匪患便消,还不费一兵一卒,能省下许多钱粮。” At this time, ran military pivot shaft secret envoy huge Hong, the sinking sound opens the mouth: 这时,掌管军事的枢密使庞洪,沉声开口: „Bandit is only a motley crew, unpromising, the officers one, heavenly prestige is enormous and powerful, the thief naturally submits to! Why must to offer amnesty, even good wine the dignity of royal government.” “贼寇只是乌合之众,不成气候,官兵一至,天威浩荡,贼人自然臣服！何须招安,平白堕了朝廷的威严。” In the deliberation hall is divided into three schools of troops quickly, clings to his own interpretation, some people support to dispatch troops, some people support to offer amnesty, others watch critically. 朝堂上很快分成三派人马,各执一词,有人支持出兵,有人支持招安,其余人冷眼旁观。 It seems like that has the warrant respectively, actually the undercurrent surges. 看似各有正当理由,其实暗流涌动。 The emperor listened to a meeting, stops the people, said slowly: „Constructing the view of emperor is the critical matter, other expenditures can save then save, now the state treasury is void, is not suitable dispatches troops, is primarily offering amnesty, the matter of disaster relief and draw thief, then gave Qin Aiqing.” 皇帝听了一会,叫停众人,缓缓道:“兴建天子之观乃是紧要之事,其余开支能省便省,如今国库空虚,不宜动兵,还是以招安为主,赈灾与平贼之事,便交给秦爱卿了。” He harbors intentions to build on a large scale, will soon construct one pile of marvelous sights, does not want to expand the military expenses. 他心心念念大兴土木,早日建完一堆奇观,并不想扩大军费。 The people see that this rested the dispute, returns in the crowd submissively. 众人见状,这才歇了争执,拱手退回人群里。 The emperor, changed a topic, asked: „Also entered the autumn quickly, the matter of this year's going south autumn patrolling, preparation how?” 皇帝顿了顿,换了个话题,问道:“也快入秋了,今年的南下秋巡之事,准备的如何了？” Left Lü Wenzong walked, bowed saying: 左相吕文宗走出来,躬身道: „In start/open Bingsheng, from Capital City Zhining Tianfu, on the road all has arranged appropriately.” “启禀圣上,从京城至宁天府,路上一切都已安排妥当。” The crown prince also goes forward several, said: „Father sovereign does not need to worry, the son feudal official in the in the capital regent, guarantees absolutely safe.” 太子也上前几步,道:“父皇不必忧心,儿臣在京中监国,保万无一失。” „Un.” The emperor nods, immediately remembers the incident, said with a smile: „Few days ago, Governor Ning heaven reported that said that in the city came an obtaining enlightenment person of high skill, can control the forces of nature, calls is the governing wind honorable person, my past, pouring to experience real.” “嗯。”皇帝点点头,随即想起一事,笑道:“前些日子,宁天知府上奏,说城里来了一位得道高人,能呼风唤雨,唤作御风真人,朕此次过去,倒想见识是不是真的。” „In Saint thought!” An element „is straight the censor hurried opens the mouth that with word” is famous: „This grade of person is the generation of spreading rumors and misleading the people, in the Saint 95 revering, how can see this mooching disciple?” “圣上三思！”一名素以“言直”著称的御史急忙开口:“这等人都是妖言惑众之辈,圣上九五之尊,怎能去见这种招摇撞骗之徒？” The emperor smile was pale. 皇帝笑容淡了。 At this time, Qin Song opened the mouth immediately, refutes: 这时,秦松立马开口,反驳道: „Governor Ning heaven dares to report, must after the verification, in the Saint Ning heaven, after the defined reason, will make a decision whether summoned this person, what needed you to talk too much?” “宁天知府既敢上奏,必经过查实,圣上到了宁天,明晰缘由后,自会决断是否召见此人,何需你多言？” „Good.” The emperor smiles to nod. “不错。”皇帝微笑点头。 Also said several matters, the emperor was a little deficient, then announced that draws back toward. 又说了几件事,皇帝有点乏了,便宣布退朝。 The officials leave the purple extremely palace one after another. 众官员鱼贯离开紫极殿。 Qin Songluo in finally, Lü Wenzong and he walked side-by-side, came apart with other officials, strolls to chat. 秦松落在最后,吕文宗与他并肩而行,与其他官员脱节,闲庭信步聊天。 „huge Shumi always wants to send out troops to cause trouble, swallow north and eastern Thailand thieves are chaotic, if with the weapons suppression, does not know that must consume much money, how in the Saint can want.” “那庞枢密总想兴兵生事,燕北、泰东两地的贼乱,若用兵戈镇压,不知要耗损多少银子,圣上怎会愿意。” Qin Song said at will. 秦松随意说道。 Lü Wenzong took a look at his one eyes, said with a smile: „Heard Qin to buy many industries in these two places, does not know that was the rumor.” 吕文宗瞅了他一眼,笑道:“听闻秦相在这两地置办了好些产业,不知是不是谣言。” „Hehe, nonsensical talk.” Qin Song beckoned with the hand calm, caressing must say: „Lü carries the sovereign command actually, for these years has arranged to go south the matter of going on patrol for the Saint, making one envy quite.” “呵呵,无稽之谈罢了。”秦松淡定摆摆手,抚须道:“倒是吕相身负皇令,这几年一直为圣上安排南下巡游之事,令人好生羡慕。” Lü Wenzong smacked the lips, puts aside the topic, said: 吕文宗咂咂嘴,移开话题,道: „Said, I heard Qin a disciple, was the governor of prefecture area the hut river, was cut an arm by the thief, cut off the official career, does not know whether really had its matter?” “说起来,我听闻秦相一位门生,在庐河一带当知府,遭贼砍了一条手臂,断绝了仕途,不知是否确有其事？” Qin Song the smile collected, said lightly: „Good, this grade of rioter, the following defies superiors, deserves the capital crime.” 秦松笑容微敛,淡淡道:“不错,这等暴民,以下犯上,该当死罪。” Lü Wenzong: „It is said the thief is called Chen Feng, has outstandingly vigorous brave, does not know that Qin did have what plan?” 吕文宗:“据说那贼人叫作陈封,有万夫不当之勇,不知秦相有何打算？” Qin Songchi however: „Foolhardiness, making the hut river soldiers and horses subjugate is, why your I worry.” 秦松嗤然:“匹夫之勇,让庐河兵马自行征讨便是,你我何必操心。” Lü Wenzong smiles: „I am worried about area the hut river to have this grade of strong person, will fear the dashing Saint to harness, goes bad the interest that the Saint last autumn patrolled.” 吕文宗笑了笑:“我只是担心庐河一带有这等强人,恐会冲撞圣驾,坏了圣上秋巡的兴致。” Qin Songwen said that narrowed the eye: 秦松闻言,眯了眯眼: „Stands to reason, this hidden danger...... that I then urged actually.” “言之有理,这倒是个隐患……那我便催促一下吧。” ...... …… North swallow, Son of Heaven stronghold. 燕北,天王寨。 This is a grand Dazhai, occupies the mountain, mountain pass numerous, the flags are floating. 这是一座雄伟大寨,盘踞高山,关隘重重,旌旗飘飘。 At this time before Dazhaimen, dozens leaders are delivering several envoys to go out. 此时大寨门前,数十位头领正在送几个使者出门。 „Leader must see off not, our then descended the mountain, but also looks considers my family/home master's proposition quite, if willing to offer amnesty, awaiting calmly the good news is.” “诸位头领莫要相送,我们这便下山了,还望诸位好生考虑我家主人的提议,若愿意招安,静候佳音便是。” Several envoys decline, this follows to descend the mountain, the back goes far away in people's eyes. 几名使者推辞一番,这才跟着喽啰们一路下山,背影在众人眼中远去。 Day takes back the vision, looks to the castellan, cannot bear say: „Elder Brother, the royal government has not promulgated the command of offering amnesty, these people really can trust, can deceive me and others?” 项天杰收回目光,看向寨主,忍不住道:“哥哥,朝廷还未颁布招安之令,这些人真能信得过吗,会不会是在糊弄我等？” The leaders also look to their castellan, somewhat is puzzled. 众头领也纷纷看向自家寨主,都有些困惑。 Their Son of Heaven strongholds take the north's first Dazhai, the interior actually has the sound that accepts to offer amnesty, but the royal government as if no this intent, therefore this proposition then put aside. 他们天王寨作为北方第一大寨,内部其实一直以来都有接受招安的声音,只是朝廷似乎从无此意,所以这个提议便搁置了。 May go to a Capital City until last year castellan, does not know that saw anyone, made contact with what line, after coming back, mentioned again the matter of offering amnesty. 可直到去年寨主去了一趟京城,不知见了什么人,搭上了什么线,回来后又重提招安之事。 Later, then has the unauthentic envoy to come to communicate the offering amnesty matters concerned frequently, the royal government did not have the sound obviously, but these envoys actually as if recognized that the royal government must issue to offer amnesty, ahead of time comes to discuss various conditions with their Son of Heaven strongholds. 之后,便频繁有来路不明的使者前来沟通招安事宜,明明朝廷还没有动静,可这些使者却似乎认定朝廷必会发布招安,提前来和他们天王寨谈各种条件。 „Fellow brothers do not need the anxiety, matter naturally real, the royal government can offer amnesty sooner or later I and others.” “各位兄弟不必疑虑,事情自然是真的,朝廷迟早会来招安我等。” A guy clear and resonant voice opens the mouth, he is handsome, appearance impressive and dignified manner, two temples for white, the age is big. 一个大汉朗声开口,他相貌堂堂,面目威仪,两鬓为白,年岁已然不小了。 The castellan in this person Son of Heaven stronghold, Longchuan. 此人正是天王寨的寨主,卢龙川。 He was known as „the Son of Heaven”, until now has „the greenwood's first expert” reputation, is renowned in the greenwood, is the green wood-road top great person. 他号称“天王”,一直以来有“绿林第一高手”的美誉,在绿林中声名赫赫,乃是绿林道顶尖的大人物。 At this time, in the leader some people spoke, discontented say/way: 这时,头领中有人发话,不满道: „Offers amnesty, incurring a bird is peaceful, the condition that they put forward, us to help royal government still swallow north and eastern Thailand banditry, then, we in green wood-road how from place? Has everyone the free and unfettered like the present been merry is how could it not be better?” “招安招安,招个鸟安,他们提出的条件,是要我们助朝廷平定燕北、泰东匪患,如此一来,我们在绿林道何以自处？大伙儿一直像现在这样逍遥快活岂不更好？” hears word, some leaders refuted immediately, said: „Brothers word is bad, I and others cannot be bandit for a lifetime, this swallow north and eastern Thailand nearly two years of crops crops are not good, large numbers of farmers abandoned escape, we do unceasingly in a big way, now had arrived at the bottleneck, supporting the entire mountain troops for is not extremely easy, the expansion must occupy the city again, that is the plotting a rebellion big crime, again not the day of raising one's head! This say/way arrived, offering amnesty was the only outlet.” 闻言,顿时有头领反驳,道:“兄弟此言差矣,我等总不能做一辈子的草寇,这燕北、泰东两地近两年庄稼收成不好,大批农夫弃地而逃,我们不断做大,如今已到了瓶颈,养活全山人马殊为不易,再行扩张就必须占据城池,那可是谋反大罪,再无出头之日！这条道走到头了,招安是唯一的出路。” „Good, if can put down two place banditry for the royal government, we are also the men of merits, everyone can seal a title with little power. In the greenwood the person offered amnesty, finally renders meritorious service to become a royal government Great general side, this also has the precedent, has not listened to that proverb...... to serve as an official, kills and torches to offer amnesty!” “不错,若能为朝廷平了两地匪患,我们也是有功之人,大家都能封个一官半职。绿林中人受招安,最后立功成为朝廷一方大将,这又不是没有先例,没听过那句老话吗……欲做官,杀人放火为招安！” People chirp discussion. 众人叽叽喳喳议论。 The Son of Heaven stronghold member constitutes complex, but majority approve to offer amnesty, thinks that this is restores the innocence, the only way out of becoming outstanding. 天王寨成员构成复杂,但大多数都赞同招安,认为这是恢复清白之身,出人头地的唯一出路。 Even takes to the heather, may under the education of feudal ethics and rites, most people regarding entering the palace to serve as an official, has to yearn naturally, thinks this is the life paramount objective of bringing honor to ancestors. 就算是落草为寇,可在封建礼教的教育下,绝大多数人对于入朝做官,天然具有向往,认为这是光宗耀祖的人生最高目标。 Longchuan lifts the hand virtual pressure, making the people peaceful, said seriously: „Our brothers many years, everyone could not have felt relieved to me, I will wrestle riches and honor for everyone surely.” 卢龙川抬手虚压,让众人安静,郑重道:“我们兄弟多年,难道大家对我还放心不过吗,我定会为大伙儿搏出一场富贵。” „I and others listened to the Elder Brother to arrange.” “我等听哥哥安排。” The people hurry to hold the fist in the other hand the statement. 众人赶紧抱拳表态。 At this time, day remembered a matter, said with a smile: „Castellan may still remember that does urgently press Yama Chen Feng?” 这时,项天杰想起一件事,笑道:“寨主可还记得那催命阎罗陈封？” Longchuan nods: „Brothers are respectable to him, I naturally remember why mentioned this person suddenly?” 卢龙川点了点头:“项兄弟对他推崇备至,我自然记得,为何突然提到此人？” „Recently on the say/way the hearsay, that Chen Feng achieved the great accomplishment area the hut river, single Qiangping two mountains, the reputation bang passes on the world, having the person of good deed said that he is the greenwood's first expert......” “最近道上传闻,那陈封在庐河一带做下了大事,单枪平二山,名声轰传天下,有好事之人说他才是绿林第一高手……” Day said a Zhou Jing deeds. 项天杰说了一遍周靖的事迹。 The Longchuan look flashes: „High of this person of skill in Wushu, truly rare...... brothers and he has old, can have the means to invite him to climb mountains to assemble for revolt?” 卢龙川眼神一闪:“这人武艺之高,确实罕见……项兄弟与他有旧,可有办法邀他上山聚义？” „This...... I have not grasped, this reading of person as if not becoming an outlaw.” “这……我也没有把握,此人似乎并无落草之念。” Day, hesitant, said: 项天杰顿了顿,犹豫一下,又道: „Moreover, this person impulses crudely, lawless, aggressive excellent, perhaps is not willing to occupy the tyrants under person, even if he climbs mountains to join a group, it is estimated that is not willing to accept to offer amnesty......” “而且,此人鲁莽冲动,无法无天,霸气过人,恐怕是个不愿屈居人下的豪强,即便他上山入伙,估计也是个不肯接受招安的……” Longchuan hears word, sighed: „Pitifully, that then considers as finished seriously.” 卢龙川闻言,叹气道:“当真可惜,那便算了。” If traded before, the Son of Heaven stronghold also when the stride development, he must certainly draw Zhou Jing this fierce person to climb mountains. 若是换在以前,天王寨还在大步发展的时候,他肯定要拉周靖这种猛人上山。 But the Son of Heaven stronghold big enterprise has lots of assets, have been majestically located a side now, planned to accept to offer amnesty, are many a top player significance is not big...... . Moreover the seating order was not good to arrange. 可现在天王寨家大业大,已然雄踞一方,都打算接受招安了,再多一个顶尖高手意义已经不大了……而且座次也不好排。 Longchuan shakes the head, casts behind Chen Feng. 卢龙川摇摇头,将陈封抛在脑后。 This person of martial arts again high...... the present and he also has any relations. 这人武功再高……现在和他又有啥关系。 His present position is stable, has crossed the stage that has needed to become famous. 他如今地位稳固,早就过了需要成名的阶段了。
