Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 367
"Wait for a while, I'll be fine soon!" Dinghui buried his head in the record without raising his head, and Yiji Lianbode looked curiously at the side, but found that the record on the friend's paper was the music score, and then he understood: "Aren't you going to record the score just now?"

"Of course, otherwise it's nothing!" Ding Hui wrote two more lines, complaining: "It's all your fault, I had already memorized it, but when you interrupted me, I forgot the next two paragraphs!"

"You can also blame me, even without me, you wouldn't be able to remember so much!" Iggy Lianbode said with a smile: "Forget it, I think so many people sang in unison just now, many people should know this song, today When you rest at night, you can find a way to find someone who understands music scores and re-copy it!"

"Well, that's the only way to go!" Ding Hui sighed, "I've been in Chang'an for so long, and I've devoted myself to studying a lot. Why did I miss such impassioned music? If I can bring it back to my country, I can teach it How good it would be for future generations!"

"That's true. If you can stay, it will be the family education of your Zhongchen family, and your descendants will benefit from it!"

"That's right!" Dinghui nodded. In fact, it was normal for the family to monopolize knowledge at that time. For example, the Yuan family in Runan was proficient in the knowledge of Meng's "Book of Changes", while the Hongnong Yang family mastered the knowledge of "Ouyang Shangshu". ", the two families have made great successes for hundreds of years.This is also the case in Japan in later generations. For example, the Fujiwara family, which was separated from the Nakatomi family where Singhui belonged, has always been known for its mastery of knowledge.For example, during the Warring States period, the daimyo Hosokawa Fujitaka was besieged by the Western Army during the Battle of Sekigahara, but Hosokawa Fujitaka was a famous Japanese scholar at that time, and he mastered the secret biography of "Anthology of Waka", because this knowledge is the master and apprentice. According to word of mouth, if Hosokawa Fujitaka died in the city, this knowledge would be lost.So the emperor at that time ordered to protect Fujitaka Hosokawa, thus saving his life.Dinghui and Yiji Lianbode came to Datang, besides diplomats, they also had another identity of scholars. The knowledge they learned from Tang Dynasty was not only beneficial to themselves, but also beneficial to future generations.

Dinghui put away the half-copied score, put it in the bag next to the saddle, got on the horse with his friends, followed Wang Wenzuo, and headed east. Their army had already set off first, so they had to hurry up to catch up.

Zhangnan, Beizhou, Hebei.

"Ahead is Xiawang Temple!" Hei Chi Changzhi said in a low voice, "Should we let everyone go for a while and rest after passing here?"

Wang Wenzuo didn't speak. He rode his horse up to the high hill beside the road and looked into the distance. He saw the reeds rippling on the lake in the distance, and he could still see the light green leaves that had just protruded. It was really high.He couldn't help but think of the experience he passed by this place a few months ago, especially the lakes and temples, but the person he met was already a bunch of dead bones, and the feeling in his heart was very different.

"Forget it, King Xia and Liu Heitai are also heroes of the first life. Since they passed by, let's go and offer a stick of incense!" Wang Wenzuo sighed.

"Obey!" Black Tooth Chang said.

After about a while, Wang Wenzuo saw the Xiawang Temple. He ordered the soldiers to rest in the open space on both sides of the road, and he took dozens of entourages and headed towards the Xiawang Temple.Maybe because it was spring, there was no one in front of the temple. After knocking for a while, an old man came out and opened the door. Wang Wenzuo recognized the old man in sackcloth and said with a smile, "Old man, do you still remember me?"

When the old man saw the official robe on Wang Wenzuo, he hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile, "Excuse me for my poor eyesight. I really can't remember the origin of the nobleman. May I ask when did the nobleman come?"

"About a few months ago!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "I passed by here again today, and wanted to offer a stick of incense to King Xia and General Liu, praying for a smooth expedition and a triumphant return! Is it convenient?"

The old man had already seen the guards with knives and sticks behind Wang Wenzuo. He knew that they had extraordinary backgrounds, so he hurried out of the way and said with a smile, "King Xia and General Liu are heroes, and they are also heroes when you look at the nobles' clothes. Heroes cherish heroes, and they will definitely protect you. Your!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo laughed when he heard that the old man could speak: "If it is as you said, the old man, I will come to Xiawang Temple again after returning to the teacher, and reshape the golden bodies for King Xia and General Liu! "

Wang Wenzuo kowtowed in front of the statue, borrowed the incense sent by the old man, prayed silently, then got up and inserted the incense into the furnace, and then several generals and entourages behind him also bowed down and offered incense.After the incense was burnt, Wang Wenzuo asked his soldiers to take an ingot of gold and give it to the old man as incense money.The old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Wang Wenzuo to rest in the side hall, brought tea and dried fruits, and stood aside to accompany him.

Wang Wenzuo casually jumped out two dates from the plate, put them in his mouth, chewed them twice, and said with a smile, "These dates are quite sweet!"

"Reporting to your lord, these dates are produced in the temple, right behind the temple! If your lord likes it, why don't you take a bag away?" The old man hurriedly greeted him.

"No need! This thing is a good idea to eat. If you eat it every day, you will get tired of it!" Wang Wenzuo clapped his hands: "Old man, I want to ask you about someone?"

"Ask someone?"

"Yes, his name is Liu Qi, with a Xiangzhou accent. I happened to meet him last time when I passed by the Xiawang Temple. The two had a very good conversation. This time I passed by here again, so I wanted to find out about his background. It’s a good opportunity to pay a visit!”

"Liu Qi?" The face of the old man in sackcloth changed slightly. He looked Wang Wenzuo up and down again. It was obvious that the man in front of him was an official of the imperial court. Why did such a person inquire about Liu Qi?

Looking at the old man's face, Wang Wenzuo knew that the other party probably knew Liu Qi's background, so he took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and put it on the table. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know, I will never blame you!”

The old man looked at the gold on the table, then at Cao Wenzong and Heizhi Changzhi standing behind Wang Wenzuo, swallowed, and said in a low voice: "I just heard about this person, I don't know who it is. It's not the person the nobleman said, and he has nothing to do with him!"

"It's okay, just tell your story, as long as you don't lie to me!"

"How dare you, how dare you!" The old man's face changed drastically, his knees softened and he almost knelt down, he thought for a moment before saying carefully.It turned out that this Liu Qi was originally from Xiangzhou, and his ancestors were originally a wealthy family, but in his father's generation, because of his lazy temperament, he didn't like to manage the family business. When the father passed away, there were only [-] to [-] mu of Susukida and a few huts left, but there were three brothers, and each family became poor.

Liu Qi was the youngest among the three brothers, and when his father died, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. However, he said that he didn't want a house or property, but only the old cow at home.The two elder brothers were overjoyed when they saw this, so they gave him the old cow, and they went to divide up the land and house without mentioning it.But half a month later, that Liu Qi returned to the village again, riding not the old cow, but a high-quality horse, wearing brocade on his body, carrying a horizontal knife, and five or six companions behind him. Rich and noble people dress up, hold banquets at the head of the village, and entertain the neighbors and elders.

"Wait a minute, old man!" Wang Wenzuo interrupted the old man's narration: "You said he rode an old ox out of the village, and half a month later rode a fine horse, dressed in brocade clothes, and brought five or six companions back? Invite others to dinner?"

"Not bad!"

"This is really strange!" Wang Wenzuo laughed and said, "Forget it, old man, if you continue to talk, what will happen to Liu Qi?"

"Obey! So Liu Qi gradually became famous in the village. If the villagers have disputes and conflicts, most of them will ask him to judge. He is a good person, and he is fair. Bullying, others gave him money, but he would not accept it, so as time went by, his reputation grew, and the number of young people following him became more and more. When he went in and out on weekdays, he was followed by more than a dozen tough young people, and he was very prestigious. Tight!"

"Oh, where is his house? I want to visit him!"

"It's in a village in Fuguo, Xiangzhou. You can go there and ask carefully. It's not difficult to ask. However, he is only at home for a few days throughout the year. You may go to find it in vain!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded, picked up the gold ingot and handed it to the old man, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm thankful for this gold, please accept it!"

The old man accepted the gold ingot, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your lord, please enjoy your tea here slowly, I have something to do outside, if you need anything, just call me!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded, and waited for the old man to go out: "Cao Shifan, what kind of person do you think this Liu Qi is?"

"He should be a hero in the village!" Cao Wenzong replied decisively: "When he rode out of the village on an old cow, he probably killed the cow to entertain the young people he made friends with on weekdays, and then took them to do some illegal activities, such as digging Tombs, robberies, and the like!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded. Cao Wenzong was similar to what he had guessed. Of course, Cao Wenzong was more familiar with the rural society of the Tang Dynasty than himself. Naturally, he was more familiar with the behavior of people like Liu Qi who were courageous and resourceful; The judgments made are also more accurate.

"Then Cao Shifan, do you think a person like Liu Qi would dare to do such a big thing as treason?"

"Conspiracy?" Cao Wenzong frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Ming Gong, a person like Liu Qi is so bold, there is nothing he is afraid to do. But generally speaking, he will not do it." !"

"Oh, why is that?"

"A person like him has been rolling on the edge of a knife since he was a child, and his mind is very clear. If he is a man of humble origin, if he gets involved in such things, his failure will be a catastrophe for the family, and it will not be successful." What good is it, unless—"

"Unless what?"

"Unless someone gave him a very credible promise! Or gave him a lot of benefits in advance, making him stunned!"

"Li Ling Zhi faint? This word is used well!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Yes, yes, Cao Shifan, you and I think the same, it can be said that the hero sees the same thing!"

"How dare a villain call Ming Gong a hero!" Cao Wenzong hurriedly lowered his head.

"Forget it, we're just passing by anyway, so it's probably enough to get it done, there's no need to go into it!" Wang Wenzuo drank all the tea: "It's getting late, let's go!"

--------------------------

Baekje, Sibi City, Xiongjin Governor's Mansion.

"This is He Wenkai!" Du Shuang whispered, "The other one is Chen Kai!" He turned the corpse over with his feet. Deep strangle marks took his life: "They were the ones who instigated the mutiny and were hanged! They were all He Bayong's men!"

They were all from Datang, Liu Renyuan thought with some numbness, he recalled those days after the Battle of Baijiangkou, everyone was rejoicing, there were smiles on their faces, and their eyes sparkled.Soldiers and officers were calculating how much spoil they would have. When they returned home, they could add a cow to the family, new clothes for their daughter-in-law, and toys for their children.After just a few months, everything changed. They have been in Baekje for three years, and the replacement of their new army is still far away. Even the army rations have become insufficient. There was a piece of white land, and the people of Silla also refused to give food to the Tang army. The reason was very good. The battle of Baekje was over, and Silla still had to help the Tang army and the Goguryeo people to fight.The defending Tang army even had to reclaim wasteland, sow seeds, plow the fields, and sweat for their own stomachs and return travel funds. In this case, it is completely absurd to talk about morale and discipline.

"Captain, according to the military law, the heads of these two guys should be chopped off, and then hang their heads at the east gate to show the public. As for He Bayong, he is not strict in governing the army, so he should be severely punished!"

"Forget it!" Liu Renyuan suddenly felt extremely tired of Du Shuang's chatter, just like the old crow on the tree outside the courtyard, always making those ominous calls.

"What?" Du Shuang thought he didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously.

"I say forget it!" Liu Renyuan said: "Cremate the body, and give the ashes to the robes of the two of them, and let them take them home. As for He Bayong—" He paused for a while: "That's it? Just give him a reprimand and tell him to be more careful!"

"Captain, this is military law!" Du Shuang subconsciously raised his voice a few times: "How can you rule the army if you can't?"

"Military law? Which military law has kept the soldiers fighting in Baekje for more than three years?" Liu Renyuan asked back: "They still have their parents, wives and children, farm houses, and ancestors' tombs! They may have nothing after they go back! Can military law control such a person?"

Du Shuang was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Then, you can't just let it go like this? Mr. Liu, if this continues, the imperial court will definitely punish you!"

"Then deal with it!" Liu Ren wished: "Whoever likes to sit in this position will do it. I'm already old, and there is really nothing I can do!"

Hearing this, Du Shuang also sighed: "Grand Liu, it's a pity that this is really a pity. We won this battle with great difficulty and made great achievements. We thought we could leave our name in history, but we didn't want to—"
