Chapter 395 Alien
A teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

When Yang Guo raised his head suddenly, his old eyes were already red, and muddy tears rolled down his face.

"What did you say... Brother Yu..."

"Mr. Yi Shan has passed away." Li Xia saluted solemnly, and said, "This junior knows that Mr. Yi Shan's time is short, but he kept this matter away and took Yang Gong away from the Northland. I'm sorry for Yang Gong."

Yang Guo asked Yuan Hao to make friends, and Li Xia heard Bai Pu mention it.

Yuan Haowen won the rank twice. In the fifth year of Jin Xingding, Jinshi won the rank and ranked with Jing Xuan;

Yang Guo and Yuan Haowen are both from Xinzhou, Shanxi Province. They share the same ranking and come from the same township, and they share the same political views.

When Bai Pu went south this time, he went to Kaifeng first. At that time, Yang Guo was being tested, so he transferred to Bozhou.

Li Xia went to see Bai Pu on purpose at that time, and besides asking him to negotiate with Jing Xuan, he also discussed the matter of sending Yang Guo away.Both parties meant that at this time of the year, protecting the Yang family's life was the most important thing.

Including the reason why Jingxuan readily agreed, there is also this friendship in it, otherwise this matter would not be so smooth.

These literati are the most capable of pretending, and they all hide their thoughts, except Zhang Hongdao.

But no matter what, when Yang Guo thought of the death of his best friend in his life, he was running around in a hurry, so he felt extremely guilty, and the grief came from it, which could not be cut off.

"Brother Yu...God is jealous of your talent...Brother Yu..."

Earlier today, Yang Guo heard a singer in the courtyard next door singing "Touching Fish·Yanqiu Ci". Er·Tongyi Mountain Fu Yanqiu".

At that time, the two young men were in the prime of their youth and proud of their spring breeze. They didn't want their country to be ruined and their families to be destroyed in a blink of an eye, with gray hair...

It never occurred to me that in a blink of an eye, the old friend had passed away and there would be no day to see each other again.

Sadness flooded, tears flowed freely...

Seeing this situation, Li Xia felt more guilty.

He never asked Yang Guo whether he would like to go south, the hook test bureau's butcher's knife had already been raised, and Yang Guo really didn't give Yang Guo a chance to hesitate at that time.

But letting an old man in his sixties leave his hometown, and every old acquaintance and acquaintance will not be able to see him off after death, still makes him feel bad.

He didn't know how to comfort Yang Guo, so he just stood aside, listening to the old man's wailing and mourning.

"Brother Yu... I am ashamed of you... I eat Mongolian rice, I am ashamed of you... I am greedy for money, and a wise man dies. ..."

After a long time, Yang Guo cried until he was exhausted, and Li Xia quickly reached out to help him.

With the young arms supporting the old body, Yang Guo patted Li Xia's hand lightly.

"Feiyu, you have to remember Brother Yu...he is different from me, he has more integrity than me..."

"Junior remember."

"The central capital was abandoned, Bianjing was burned, the world was in chaos, and there were no documents left over the ages. Brother Yu did not serve as an official. He built a wild history pavilion with his own efforts, collected chapters from Heshuo, and compiled a great work in Zhongzhou, so that I am not a humble person in the Central Plains... ...People in the Central Plains must not be contemptible...you must have poetry and books...you must have poetry and books..."

"Junior understands."

"He said... the sea is flowing, you can die, but history is indispensable... You don't think I am a golden man, he pities the people of Zhongzhou, you want to listen to his poems... the bones are like a mess, and they have been home for several years Bianlongsha. I only know that there are only a few people living in Heshuo, but there are only a few families in the dilapidated houses and sparse smoke.”

"Yes, the people of Zhongzhou and the creatures of Heshuo are all compatriots of my generation..."

Yang Guo wanted to say something more, but she was hoarse when she spoke again. She opened her mouth and fell silent.

The old and the young sat silently for a long time.

In the end, Yang Guo spoke his words in response to Yuan Hao's question, his voice was very low, but it was filled with incomparable sadness.

"The place where the hatred is buried, and the old road is reunited according to the agreement. There is a lonely hill in the cold rain. There are many romantic affairs in the world, and the sky has a heart to envy each other..."

As if a prophecy came true, the Yanqiu poems that were written on the old road of Bingmen that year were indeed only lonely and cold rain.

……

"Don't talk about it, but you're still afraid that you will be misunderstood by ruthlessness. You can hold a cup. When you read the elegy carefully, you will pour out tears and drink the loess for you..."

~~
Li Xia had many things to continue discussing with Yang Guo, but he still gave Yang Guo time to mourn his deceased friend.

At noon, he went to arrange carriages and horses, and then continued to return to Yang Guo's residence.

Walking through two alleys again, I saw two scholars coming out of a small house.

"A golden man who is a descendant of Xianbei died, what's so sad? You and your wife are simply ridiculous."

"Brother Liu's statement is wrong. It is true that Mr. Yishan is a descendant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but since Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty conquered the Han Dynasty, Hu clothing and Hu language were banned, surnames were changed, Tuoba was changed to Yuan, and Dugu was changed to Liu. Returning to the Han Dynasty for nearly 800 years, experienced the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, and Chengping was also a commoner in the Song Dynasty. How come Brother Liu still talks about Xianbei people?"

"My ancestors were Xianbei people, and I have been Xianbei people for generations. Don't say 800 years, even 8000 years, Yuan Haowen is not my race."

"Brother Liu, I don't know? You claim to be a descendant of the Han family, but in fact your first ancestor was the great-grandson of King Zhao Jiujiang of the Han Dynasty. Tracing back to the source, you are actually a descendant of Liu Yuan of Han Zhao, and Liu Yuan is the descendant of Maodun. In this way, Brother Liu, you Is it to hook slaves?"

"I'm from Song Dynasty! I'm from Shouchun, Huaixi Road!"

"Mr. Yishan is from Xinzhou, Shanxi Road!"

"Huh? Deng Guang recommends that you think about it carefully. There is Mongolia under the rule of the Jin Kingdom. Yuan Haowen is a Jin man. If you mourn a Jin man, do you want to treason the country?!"

"Is he the one who was wrong? Was it his fault that he was born in the Kingdom of Jin? I lost half of my country in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that all the northerners have become sinners?!"

"It's not his fault that he was born in the Kingdom of Jin. Serving gold and mourning gold are his great crimes! I recommend you to forget the shame of Jingkang? Forget how the Jurchen beasts insulted our Song people?!"

"I have never forgotten the shame of Jingkang, but the Jurchens in the Han region have been exterminated. Even the Mongolians can tell who is the Jurchen and who is the Han, but Brother Liu can't tell the difference? Blame the disaster of war more than a hundred years ago On the heads of these Central Plains adherents?"

"As I said, being a survivor of the Central Plains is not a crime. But Yuan Hao asked Shi Jin, why didn't he learn from Duke Jiaxuan?"

"Mr. Jiaxuan..."

The scholar with the word "Guangjian" murmured, as if he wanted to retaliate with countless words, but he didn't dare to say it when the words came to his lips.

Since "people from the south return to the south, and people from the north return to the north", it is a sin for northerners to cross south.

Xin Qiji is a talented person, barely able to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty, but his life of being depressed...what can he say as a Song person?
That said, it's another serious crime...

Looking at the backs of the two scholars arguing, Li Xia felt inexplicably sad.

He knew very well why the scholar surnamed Deng was speechless.

If you want people from the north to cross to the south, first of all, the Song court must never recognize the legal system of the Jin Kingdom, and must be firm and allow no room for it.

But as early as Gaozong's dynasty, Chaoyan had already acquiesced in the separation of the North and the South in terms of legal system, and regarded the Kingdom of Jin as the orthodoxy... It can only be said that it has been a disaster for hundreds of years.

……

The two scholars in front were still walking and talking.

"Guangjian has nothing to say? Yuan Hao asked Shi Jin, he is a traitor. You mourn the death of a traitor, and you don't feel ashamed or humiliated?"

"Yeah, shame..."

"As people of the Song Dynasty, we should scold those traitors from Shijin and Shimeng severely. We scolded them too much, and scolded them harshly. People in the north know that Song Dynasty is the orthodox of Zhongzhou..."

"Gou'an Jiangnan's Zhongzhou orthodoxy?"

"Just recommend?"

"It was a slip of the tongue for a while. Forget it, I don't know Yuan Yishan, but I just think that his writing follows Confucius and Mencius, his poetry follows Du Fu, he practices the etiquette of the Han family, and wears the clothes of the Han family... I was inspired by his articles and touched by his poems. .that is it."

"The essays and poems of traitors also match?"

"Brother Liu, as a Song native, it's easy for us to call a Northerner a 'traitor', but if we put ourselves in the shoes..."

The scholar surnamed Deng was halfway through his speech, when he turned his head and saw Li Xia, a little frightened look flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared after a while, and finally he bowed and smiled wryly.

The scholar surnamed Liu also turned his head and asked, "What are you doing with us? Do you have something to say?"

Li Xia arched his hands and said, "What's the use of talking about it? It's better to regain the mountains and rivers."

After saying a word, Li Xia stopped following them and turned around the alley...

~~
The longer he lived during the Mongolian and Song Dynasties, the more reluctant Li Xia was to comment on current figures.

Under the chaos, even the merits and demerits of right and wrong appear chaotic.

No one can end this chaos until a hundred years later... Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the past, I didn't think that the more Song people, Jin people, Mongolian people, and Dali people I saw now, the more Li Xia felt Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements.

If it is said that "the sun and the moon re-opened the heaven of the Great Song Dynasty", this "heaven of the Great Song Dynasty" has never included Dali and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

The historians of Zhending and the Zhang family of Shuntian have not been Song people for a day since the founding of the Song Dynasty. This is even a problem left over from the Five Dynasties.

What people say about Zhu Yuanzhang's faults... After living in this world, Li Xia can't imagine what it would be like if there was no unified Han Dynasty after Meng Yuan?
……

He thought about this, and went all the way back to Yang Guo's place, only to see that Yang Guo had calmed down.

"Feiyu is here, let the ugly words come first, this old man will never serve as Song..."
