"Mere fame and fortune have nothing to do with love. The source must be Zhiping. The cold sword kills the traitor and the sycophant, but the powerful words and gold stones help the common people." The strong man holding the hammer raised his hand to the crowd and said loudly.
The two people he had thrown away earlier also patted the dust on their bodies and trotted to the front of the crowd, seemingly unscathed.
"Dear fellow villagers, we, the Qingke League, have always eliminated violence and peace, and want to eliminate injustices all over the world. If any villagers feel that they can't survive, you can join our Qingke League. I, Yu Wenfeng, am here as a guarantee, but I have a mouthful of dry food.
Don’t let everyone drink anything thin.”
"Yes, what's so good about the Tang Dynasty? It has to pay a large amount of taxes every year, not to mention doing heavy corvee labor. It simply doesn't treat everyone as human beings!" A strong man holding a rope continued.
"Princes and generals like Xiang Ning have the guts to decide their own lives, rob the rich and give to the poor, eat large chunks of meat, and drink copious amounts of wine!"
When Li Kuo heard this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. Growing up in the city of Chang'an, the young man experienced the rise and fall of his family, and he was familiar with the ups and downs. The fight for the palace, the strife of aristocratic families, and the indifference of relatives.
The young man who originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was the paradise of the world, clearly saw after the decline of his family, the lust and exaggeration of the court behind the prosperity, and the selfishness and indifference of human nature behind the strength. Yes, there were injustices and injustices in the Tang Dynasty. But she
It’s the place where I was born and raised, the old house in Chongrenfang, the Kelong Teahouse in Tongjifang, the Imperial College in Wubenfang... Grandpa, mother, Uncle Sun, A Tian, Yanji, Brother Nan
....... They have become one with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no distinction between them. Even if the Tang Dynasty is unfair and unfair, it is not the turn of a foreign race to point fingers here! This is like a rebellious young man.
, even if you are quite prejudiced against your parents, you will not allow outsiders to say anything wrong about your parents!
The young man calmed himself down, took a step forward, straightened his spine and said loudly to the three men: "Three brothers, what you said is wrong. Since our great ancestor Ding Ding came to the Tang Dynasty, we have divided the land equally and started to open schools to recruit scholars.
.From Zhenguan to Tianbao, the economy has become increasingly prosperous, border battles have been successful, and talents have been put to good use. Although there are many corrupt officials and local ruffians, they have their own laws and regulations. Li is not aware of other dynasties, but during the Sui War,
, the land of Hebei was starved to death, wars were raging, the people were in dire straits, and human tragedies often occurred such as exchanging children for food. By the time of Dingding in our dynasty, the country's population had dropped to seven out of ten. It is true that in the Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of refugees migrating during disaster years, but compared with
Under this situation, most local officials were able to provide disaster relief and food in time, and no major epidemics spread. People felt at ease. What was the intention of the three brothers to confuse the people of the Tang Dynasty in this way? Furthermore, Li looked at the clothes of the three brothers.
It is not the style of our Tang Dynasty, but it is like the Hufu of the Mobei Turks. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. How can the people of Kyushu and China accept you with your bare chests and belly, and your hair hanging in left skirts? My parents who bear it with their body and skin,
Do not take it lightly. If you embroider tattoos, destroy your body and cut off your skin, how will you recognize the people of our great Tang Dynasty? No matter how different we are in the Great Tang Dynasty, they are all members of the same race. If they are not of my race, their minds must be different. I am great.
If Tang Ru can't treat everyone kindly, will you Turks treat us as human beings?"
This last sentence woke up everyone present. Yes, they are Turks, why should we go with them?
"If we don't follow the Turks, we are Tang people!"
"They have all been defeated by the Tang Dynasty and their country was destroyed. How can they stand up for us!"
"We are Tang people and we don't want to associate with barbarians!"
"We resolve our matters ourselves and don't need outsiders to interfere!"
There was a stir, and the villagers were infected by Li Kuo's impassioned speech. They waved their fists and protested loudly against the three men's instigation.
"Drive them out of the village!"
"Catch them and bring them to the officials!"
"Go back to your grassland, grandpa doesn't care about your dirty money!"
The voice was uneven and even a little rude, but Li Kuo felt it was extremely beautiful to hear it at this time.
We are all Tang people, and the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang is flowing in our bodies. We do not live for one family name, but we will never allow any form or ethnic insult to us, because we are Tang people!
Rotten eggs and cabbage were thrown at the three Qingke League "righteous men" one after another, forcing the three of them to retreat.
"Alas!" The sweaty man holding the hammer, his cheeks turned red from holding back, sighed with regret, and walked away.
"Go away, go back to your grassland!"
"The Turks dare to be so reckless in Chang'an!"
Zhang Xun patted Li Kuo's arm lightly and cast an approving look.
In a farm on the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City, Zhang Yanji was sitting crookedly in front of a pond, lightly twirling newly-cut plums in his left hand, and holding a fishing rod in his right hand. The breeze was blowing, so comfortable! Li Kuo and Zhang Xun
After rarely changing into light clothes and long robes, the uncle and nephew sat cross-legged in front of a pile of wheat straw, holding their breath and playing a game of chess. Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun couldn't stand such a lazy rhythm, so they borrowed some money from the banker.
The two good horses "begged for mercy" one after another and went to "race horses" outside the village.
He grabbed a bunch of purple Gaochang grapes and threw them lightly into his mouth. Zhang Yanji closed his eyes in comfort. He hadn't been this happy for a long time. In the Chang'an Mansion, there was a master to supervise and train, and in the Imperial College, there were teachers to supervise the detention.
How can you feel as comfortable as coming from your own farm? There are light smoke and sparse willows, and the fragrance of red apricots. It’s not bad to be a rich man for the rest of your life!
"My eldest son, your eldest son? Forgive me, Uncle Yuan, for talking too much. You have been in Zhuangzi for half a day. Do you know, sir?" An old man wearing a dark plain brocade robe bowed his hand to Zhang Yanji and said respectfully.
"Hmm, huh?" Zhang Yanji reluctantly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him, he suddenly felt a headache. This person's name is Zhang Yuan. It is said that he was my grandfather's companion when he was young. After my grandfather succeeded him as the head of the family,
, he also rose to become a great steward. He was originally going smoothly because he offended his aunt because he was too upright, so he was demoted to the Zhang family farm as a steward. Uncle Yuan was good at everything, but he was too accepting of death. In his heart, the sky is the same as the earth.
Sir, I am the greatest. Not to mention that I am an eldest son with no real power, even if my aunt "comes", without my grandfather's order, he will immediately send a letter back to the Zhang Mansion to let my grandfather know!
Zhang Yanji stood up with a leap, Zhang Yanji ran to Zhang Yuan's side in a few steps, and whispered: "Uncle Yuan, I came out secretly this time and didn't tell grandpa. Don't tell him, otherwise grandpa will beat me to death."
of."
"This..." Zhang Yuan looked at this wayward young master with some embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
"Uncle Yuan, good uncle." Holding Zhang Yuan's hands, Zhang Yanji said coquettishly like a child: "Uncle Yuan, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you love me the most. These are all mine.
My friend, if you tell me, they will definitely not be able to stay in Zhuangzi. Can you bear to see Yanji so shameless?"
Seeing that Zhang Yuan's face was a little relaxed, Zhang Yanji was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Besides, Yanji didn't come out for fun this time. Yanji came out of the city this time to explore the flowers with Xiao Zhang to collect materials for the 'travel scroll'
." After saying that, he winked at Zhang Xun, indicating that the other party would agree with his statement.
Although Zhang Xun is an upright person, he is not a pedantic person. When he saw Zhang Yanji winking at him, he immediately understood.
Zhang Xun stroked his beard lightly and laughed and said: "You kid, you insist on dragging me in. Yes, a certain Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Qinghe County, thought this kid was a malleable talent, so he took him out of the city to collect
Some materials to prepare for the 'book'."
Zhang Yuan was already moved. Seeing that there was a talented and virtuous person like Xiao Zhang Tanhua teaching Confucianism to the young master, he thought that even if the master wanted to investigate him in the future, he would not blame the young master too much. He bowed to Zhang Xunman and spoke in harmony.
He said: "Master Zhang, what are you talking about? I will definitely be happy to have a Confucian scholar like you who teaches poetry, classics, and history to the great master. If you need anything, please send Ah Fu to let me know. The old man will definitely not neglect your distinguished guests." After that,
Zhang Yuan then bowed and retreated.
"Brother Yanji, I didn't expect you, the eldest son of the Zhang family, to be so majestic!" Chen Xiaoliu praised loudly while chewing on a ripe orange apricot.
Glancing at this 'country bumpkin', Zhang Yanji smiled angrily and said: "Tsk, I am quite impressive. The land on the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City is very fertile because Longshou Canal crosses it. Most of the aristocratic families and generals
My own manor is built here. It is very pleasant to come here to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air, playing songs every night. My grandpa’s official position is not small, but not big. Although the Zhang family in Hedong is also a famous family for a century, but in the
Gyeonggi Province, the capital of the emperor, is not as good as the Li family in Longxi and the Wei family in Jingzhao. You have nothing to do at night to see that the officials from other counties who gave them Zhuangzi gifts had to line up from Yuandongtou to Chunmingmen with lanterns!"
Li Kuo saw Xiaoliu's face turning red from holding back, and smiled and slapped Zhang Yanji on the head: "You bastard, why are you trying to show off your power with Xiaoliu? People can't always live in the shadow of their ancestors. We have to look forward to everything."
"Take my grandfather as an example. One night he was the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the next day he was removed from his official position and became a white man." After experiencing so many things, Li Kuo's heart knot has gradually been untied, and he is no longer taboo about mentioning those years.
Grandpa's unjust case. After a slight pause, the young man continued: "It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. As the saying goes, once the emperor is once the emperor, there are always ministers. The favor of the ancestors will eventually be used up. By then, there will be no real ability.
, such a big family fortune can’t be swallowed up with just a word. (Note 1)”
Zhang Xun clapped his hands in approval and said, "It is indeed a blessing to the country to have such young talents in our Tang Dynasty. Yanji, you should learn more from Kuo'er."
Zhang Yanji shrugged and responded helplessly.
Just when the garden was full of joy and happiness, I saw Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun returning from "horse racing".
He turned over from under the treasure colt and took a few steps. Nan Jiyun laughed at everyone and said, "The fish still couldn't bear the temper and took the bait!"
Note 1: This has always been my point of view. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Even if it is the protection of your parents, you still need to be able to raise it.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds. Is it cool? Collect it, isn’t it?
