Capítulo 49: La situación está en su punto álgido. (2/3)
Subió a un caballo y cabalgó directamente hacia Chengdu.
Ahora era más importante llegar a Chengdu para revisar los periódicos y ver si había publicado algún artículo alarmante contra el budismo.Cloud Zeng had handed over a head;Liáng Jí could not possibly still be alive, meaning his task was complete.As an official for many years, Pán Liáng knew that Cloud Zeng was giving him face to help remove himself from the situation.
He even suspected that any anti-Buddhist articles written in Cloud Zeng’s name were just a scare tactic.Llegó Zhang Fangping, pero Pan Liang no quiso recibirlo.
En Da-song, funcionarios como Zhang Fangping y el Tíngxínguān eran figuras únicas.
El primero era un espía real;the latter, an official tasked with reviewing cases.Pán Liáng would not even approach Zhang Fangping.Zhang Fangping frowned as he listened to these monks’ incessant complaints.
His mind was more on Cloud Zeng who had already left."Antiguos viajeros han montado en pajaros blancos y se han ido, aquí solo queda la Torre del Águila Amarillo!"Risa, el canto del grifo amarillo, se ha ido para siempre, las nubes blancas, vacías, por milenios...
El orgullo de los habitantes del sur volverá jamás a su tierra.Esta tierra lo alimentó, lo logró y también le partió el corazón, hasta el punto de que ni siquiera quiere volver a ver a sus antiguos amigos, quizás teme verse con lágrimas en los ojos y sin palabras.Su Xún stood by the river with his hands behind his back, plucking a piece of willow and tossing it into the Min River.
Seeing Zhang Fangping in deep thought, he smiled, “It's not as sad as you think, Cloud brothers are not people who fall apart after facing setbacks.Sichuan is full of mountains;Querer acercarse solo lo aleja.
Por lo tanto, no puede ser un hombre sabio.
Si no puede ser un hombre sabio, su naturaleza lo hará un hombre inteligente.
Un hombre inteligente ama el agua.without the vast sea with its ten thousand waves, how can one accommodate such abundant wisdom?”Zhang Fangping sighed, “It seems he must venture into the sea.”Su Xún smiled, “A man's reputation lives on after death.
If Cloud Zeng cannot make his name resonate throughout Dàsòng, why would he go to the sea?For two years now, I have been studying the relationship between Song, Liao, and Xi Xia.
To break this triangular relationship, we must first reclaim the Yan-Yun region.Without the Yan-Yun region, our nation is incomplete, and an extensive system for defending against enemies cannot be established.Now, Song, Liao, and Xi Xia are all taking a break to recuperate.
Even the most aggressive Xi Xia has laid down its arms, focusing on digesting the conquered Hui people in order to gain more advantages during the upcoming three-way war.”Zhang Fangping sighed again, “Alas, it seems heaven does not favor Dàsòng.
The emperor is bedridden, and the crown prince is too young to properly govern the state.
The former virtuous Cáo family is now ambitious, making Dàsòng seem peaceful on the surface but hiding many troubles.”Su Xún smiled, “We still have you.
