With Fang Jun's current status, he can personally design this trap, but how can he still leave a way for Helan Chushi to survive?
Helan Chushi must die.
It's just that Helan Chushi is the brother of Wu Meiniang's sister's late husband, so he's still a relative, but he somehow offended Fang Jun and is going to be punished to death...
Of course, Cen Changqian would never ask this. He was promoted from a white body by Fang Jun to the position of Zuo Jinwu's chief guard. It was when he was a proud and ambitious young man that he determined to do something big and make great achievements. Why did he care about a mere Helan Chushi?
life and death?
Now that the Commander-in-Chief has given the instructions, just keep an eye on the accounts and wait until you find any mistakes and deal with them with military law...
Gao Kan warned: "As the New Year is approaching, public security is the most critical time, and there are great changes in the army. Strict attention must be paid to all aspects of logistics to ensure that no mistakes are made. Chief Cen is young and smart, and has won the trust of the commander.
, I also hope that I can be down-to-earth and work diligently, and don't be arrogant to avoid causing trouble."
He knew that Cen Changqian was Cen Wenwen's nephew and had been raised by him since childhood. He also knew that Cen Changqian could be regarded as Fang Jun's "disciple" and was deeply favored by Fang Jun. At a young age, he was appointed as Zuo Jinwu's Chief of Guards. Given time, his future would be uncertain.
Limited edition.
But because of this, he felt that he should remind this smart young man that sometimes a good background and ability may not necessarily lead to a bright future. The most important thing is to work hard, calm down, and be down-to-earth.
How can you reach a thousand miles without taking small steps?
Cen Changqian solemnly accepted the instruction: "General, don't worry, I will not dare to ruin the commander-in-chief's important affairs. Thank you very much for the general's teaching."
Gao Kan nodded and smiled: "You come from a well-known family, but you don't have any dandy air. You are not like those children from aristocratic families who just eat and die and wait for death. Do your best and I will take good care of you!"
Cen Changqian looked strange, hesitated, and whispered: "Just say these things in private. General, please don't say too much in front of others, otherwise you may make the commander dissatisfied."
What is "dandy air of exaggeration"?
Isn't this just talking about the commander's previous style?
Pointing fingers at Sang and Huaihuai? Or making insinuations?
Gao Kan was stunned, then forced a smile and waved his hand: "The commander-in-chief has a broad mind and accepts advice humbly, how can he care about this?"
But I was secretly alert in my heart, I must never say these words again...
…
There was no concept of "Celebrating the New Year" in the Tang Dynasty. The real grand festival was the Shangyuan Festival, but all the sacrifices at the end of the year and the end of the year were gathered together, so it seemed that the New Year's Day was extremely important. But precisely because of this,
Over time, the "New Year" has gradually become the most important festival in China.
Fang Jun is very tired these days. He needs to organize and preside over all kinds of sacrifices, both at home and in the court, almost every day. Fortunately, at home, the sacrifices in the court are basically the same.
There is a lot of fanfare and complicated etiquette, which is very frustrating.
However, "the most important thing in the country lies in sacrifice and military affairs." Both the family and the country regard sacrifice as the most important thing. It represents the atmosphere of a country and even the inheritance of Chinese culture. It is absolutely impossible to ignore it.
This stirred up long-lost memories, and some things that seemed to have been gradually forgotten were recalled again. During the Chinese New Year in the previous life, children scattered all over the world would return home no matter what, to celebrate the festival with their parents as a family.
Rows of packed trains rush north and south, and the traffic flow is congested and stagnant. However, no matter how difficult it is, it can't stop the homesick wanderers from returning to their nests on this day.
"Going home during the New Year" is a gene imprinted in the bone marrow of Chinese people.
It is precisely because of this that Chinese people can confuse the concepts of hometown and foreign country. One is the place where I was born, and the other is the place where I was raised. How can we distinguish between them?
Gradually, hometown and foreign country, home and country became one, and merged into the word "unity"...

Linyi is located in the south, with summer in all seasons. Before the Central Plains Dynasty took over, Linyi was mediocre and backward, ignorant and chaotic. There was no distinction between solar terms, no definite festivals, and no innovation in calendars. The calendars used were all borrowed from others, or from Tianzhu.
, or it is the Central Plains, which leads to confusion in sacrifices.
The sacrifices held in Linyi are mostly performed by villages and villages in various places. They are diverse and strange, and there are no national sacrifices.
After the Tang Dynasty leased Da Nang, Haiphong and other ports, and stationed troops equally in the Song Dynasty, foreign trade between the two countries became frequent. Luxury goods such as silk, porcelain, paper, and cloth from the Tang Dynasty poured into Linyi, and Linyi was deeply loved by the people.
The nobles often spent large sums of money for a set of porcelain, while rice, wood and other cheap commodities from Linyi were loaded at the port and shipped to the Tang Dynasty ship by ship, supporting the people's livelihood needs and infrastructure construction of the Tang Dynasty.
The hard-working and intelligent Tang people traveled across the ocean and came to Linyi. They purchased rice, opened rice shops, bought stores, opened restaurants, and even opened brothels and casinos to earn every penny of Linyi people.
A huge amount of wealth poured into Linyi, causing the upper class nobles in Linyi to highly admire the Tang Dynasty. They were deeply influenced by the splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty. Wearing Tang clothes, writing Chinese characters, and reading Tang poetry became the daily life of the Linyi nobles. They were good at it,
The rich and prosperous Tang Dynasty has become a country that Linyi people yearn for infinitely. The status of Tang people in Linyi has been infinitely elevated, and every word and deed is regarded as a model by Linyi people.
As the trade between the two countries deepened, the entire Linyi followed the steps of the Tang Dynasty, and the calendar of the Tang Dynasty was also promoted and applied in Linyi.
So the people of Linyi discovered that in the twelfth lunar month, people in the Tang Dynasty began to behave strangely. They bought incense, candles, and sacrifices on a large scale, and worshiped various gods in their homes and shops. Incense was lingering all day long, and sacrifices continued.
The people in Linyi were puzzled as to why people in the Tang Dynasty believed in such gods.
When encountering natural or man-made disasters, which god should they choose to pray to for blessing?
However, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all the people in Linyi were confused.
Almost all the rice shops, restaurants, medical clinics, brothels, casinos and other commercial establishments opened by the Tang people on the street hung banners and explained by shop assistants that the shops would be closed on the afternoon of the 30th of the twelfth lunar month until the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Will be open for business.
The people in Linyi exploded immediately. Is this okay?
Restaurants, brothels, casinos, etc. are all. But if the rice shop is closed, there is nowhere to buy rice; if the medical center is closed, where can you seek medical treatment?
Although they didn’t understand why the Tang people went out of business despite not doing business, the people in Linyi did not resist or question the Tang people’s ideas. Since you closed down on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, why don’t I just buy everything I need to buy before that?
Therefore, in the three days from the 28th to the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, countless people from Linyi poured into the shops of the Tang Dynasty to buy all the necessary supplies for life, including rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth and paper, porcelain, pottery, metal products...
Even though Tangren's shops had stocked up a large amount of goods to cope with such an inevitable situation, most of the shops' warehouses were still emptied out.
The cheap goods were emptied out, and what was brought in was fresh rice, yellow copper ingots, huge logs, and mountains of spices...
All Tang people took advantage of the festival to make a fortune.
This scene happened in all the areas that had trade with the Tang Dynasty, including Linyi, Chenla, Johor, Srivijaya, Silla...especially the Japanese country.
The Japanese were trapped in the island country, surrounded by the vast sea and boundless. They could only survive among the mountains and rivers. They had never established a civilization and were ignorant and backward. With the development of shipbuilding technology, some people finally entered and left the island country. When they first came into contact with outsiders, they were deeply influenced by the Chinese.
North Korea, which was influenced by Chinese culture, later came into contact with the Han people. It was astounded by the splendid Chinese culture, and it bowed its knees and admired it extremely.
Generation after generation of Japanese people tirelessly studied Chinese culture, and even sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to study Confucianism, Mohism, architecture, mathematics, music, politics... They crazily absorbed the nutrients of Chinese culture and applied what they learned.
If there is anyone in the world who respects Chinese culture the most, loves it deeply, and studies it diligently, it is the Japanese country.
The emperor's line was severed, the Soga family fell, and the Japanese country was torn into pieces. Even every village and every mountain was in charge of its own affairs and attacked each other. However, instead of having any hatred towards the Tang people who invaded the island country to seize resources, they were complacent and called "Chinese"
He considers himself to be "ruling the people".
They only hated the Ezo people who killed their compatriots arbitrarily, and wished they could rip off the skin of the Ezo people. However, they always respected the Tang people and regarded them as gods.
Many Japanese people from various places begged the Tang people to unify the islands and merge them into China. They were not even satisfied with becoming the "land of control" of the Tang Dynasty, but were willing to merge into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and become a state capital under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang people...
Liu Renyuan walked on the streets of Asukakyo with his hands behind his hands, watching the Japanese nobles and common people "looting" the goods in the Chinese shops. Along the street, both Chinese and Japanese shops and residences were all hung with Chinese-style lanterns. The auspicious beasts made him feel like he was in the middle of nowhere.
While in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yizhi said to Fang Yizhi next to him: "The Japanese people are afraid of power and have no morals, which can make the Japanese people like the Tang Dynasty and admire China. This is all due to Dalang's teachings."
Fang Yizhi also looked at the scenery on the street curiously. When he came to the Japanese country, he devoted himself to education. He co-founded Shushu Publishing House and taught the Four Books and Five Classics, Spring and Autumn Theory, and rarely went out. Although he knew that the Japanese admired them
Chinese culture, but I don’t know that it has reached such a point of heartfelt attachment.
Being in Asukakyo, the capital of the Japanese Empire, you feel like you are walking on the streets of a city in the Tang Dynasty in the past. How can you still feel like you are in a foreign country?
He shook his head, not daring to take credit: "Fearing power and being virtuous are actually not opposites. Without the power to dominate the world, even if others have admiration in their hearts, they will lack a sense of compulsion. It is not pure enough. Only the knife is placed on the
The admiration on the neck is the most sincere."
It is true that the Japanese admired Chinese culture, but without the power of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty to dominate the Japanese islands, the Japanese probably just wanted to apply what they learned and strengthen themselves. How could there be the current trend of "admiration for the Tang" among the people?
Liu Renyuan originally wanted to praise Fang Yizhi, but after hearing this, he had to nod his head and agree: "The Japanese are cheap."
Fang Yizhi smiled and said: "This is not a question of whether you are humble or not, but a question of cultural roots. Our culture is prosperous and we have many sages. What we pay attention to is getting stronger when encountering a strong force and never bowing down. However, the Japanese country does not have such a long-standing culture.
There are no sages who are wise and righteous, so they only know how to bow to the strong and bully the weak. Such a nation, even if it is strong for a while, can only do the opposite, bully the weak, and eventually collapse. It only knows "hegemony", but does not know "king"
', is there any long-lasting reason?"
Liu Renyuan grinned: "It's just an island country, still dreaming of being strong? As long as we follow the commander-in-chief's plan, in thirty to fifty years we can absorb all the essence of the Japanese islands, causing its people to be plunged into war for a long time, and eventually the country will be destroyed.
"
For some unknown reason, from the day the ship landed in the Japanese country, the commander-in-chief showed an unparalleled hatred for the country and vowed to destroy it before he could stop.
But now, the Eni people are holding the butcher knives sold to them by the Tang people and are killing all the Japanese on the Japanese islands...
