Red Tang

"Mere fame and fortune have nothing to do with love, and the source must be Zhiping. The sword is cold and frosty, and the sword is cold, and the words are powerful and the stone helps the common people." The strong man with the hammer cupped his hands at the crowd and said loudly.

The two people who had been thrown out by him before also patted the dust on their bodies, and trotted to the front of the crowd, seemingly unscathed.

"Fellow folks, our Qingkemeng has always been against violence and peace, and we want to eradicate injustice all over the world. If any folks feel that they can't go on, they can join our Qingkemeng. I, Yuwenfeng, are here as a guarantor, but I have a mouthful of dry food. Don't let everyone drink water."

"That's right, what's so good about the Tang Dynasty court, not to mention paying a huge amount of taxes every year, not to mention the heavy corvee, it doesn't treat everyone like a human being!" A strong man with a rope continued.

"Princes and generals are kind to each other, everyone's life is up to everyone, robbing the rich and helping the poor, eating a lot of meat, and drinking a lot!"

Hearing this, Li Kuo felt a surge of anger in his heart.Growing up in the city of Chang'an since he was a child, the boy has experienced the ups and downs of his family, honor and disgrace, and he has a clear understanding of the warmth and coldness among them.The competition for the palace, the strife of the family, the indifference of the relatives.The young man who thought Datang was a bliss in the world, after his family's decline, he clearly saw the greed and exaggeration of the imperial court behind the prosperity, and the selfishness and indifference of human nature behind the prosperity.Yes, there was injustice and injustice in Datang.But she is 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, Ah Tian, ​​Yanji, Big Brother Nan...they have become one with Datang, regardless of each other.Even though Datang is unfair in every possible way, there is no chance for a foreign race to point out here!This is like a rebellious teenager, even if he has a prejudice against his parents, he will not allow outsiders to say a word about his parents!

The young man forced himself to gather himself, took a step forward, straightened his spine and said loudly to the three men, "You three brothers, what you said is wrong. My Great Tang has been here since Gao Zu Ding Ding, and the land is divided equally, and the subjects are recruited. From Zhenguan to Tianbao, the economy has become more and more prosperous, and the frontiers have won successive battles, and talents have been put to good use. Although there are many corrupt officials and local bullies, they have their own country ruled by law. I don’t know about Li in other dynasties, but the former Sui Dynasty was chaotic. At that time, the land of Hebei was full of hunger and death, the flames of war raged, the people were in dire straits, and human relations tragedies occurred every time they changed their children. By the time of our dynasty Dingding, seven out of ten of the country's population. It is true that in the Tang Dynasty, there were also many refugees who migrated in disaster years, but relative In contrast, most of the local officials were able to provide disaster relief and food in time, and there was no major epidemic spread. People feel at ease, what is the intention of the three brothers to confuse the people of our Tang Dynasty? Furthermore, Li Mou watched the clothes of the three brothers The attire is not my Tang style, but it looks like the Hu suit of the Mobei Turks. My Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. How can the people of Huaxia in Kyushu accept you with your breasts exposed and your hair left? Your parents are affected by your body, hair and skin. , not to be lightly destroyed. You embroidered Danqing, ruined your body and cut your skin, how do you recognize the people of my Tang Dynasty? No matter how good my Tang Dynasty is, they are all people of the same clan. If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. I If the Tang Dynasty can't treat everyone well, will you Turkic people treat us as human beings?"

This last sentence woke up everyone present.Yeah, they are Turks, why should we go with them.

"Don't follow the Turks, we are from the Tang Dynasty!"

"They were all beaten to death by Datang, how can they stand up for us!"

"We are Tang people, and we don't bother to associate with barbarians!"

"Our affairs are resolved by ourselves, without the intervention of outsiders!"

Immediately, a thousand waves were aroused, and the Han householders were infected by Li Kuo's generous speech, and they all waved their fists to protest the provocation of the three men.

"Drive them out of the village!"

"Catch them and bring them to the officer!"

"Go back to your prairie, your grandpa doesn't care about that stinky money!"

The voices were varied, even a little rude, but Li Kuo felt that it was very beautiful at this time.

We are all Tang people, the blood of descendants of Yan and Huang descendants flows in our bodies, we do not live for one family, but we will never allow any form of insult to us by any nation, because we are Tang people!

Rotten eggs and Chinese cabbage were thrown at the three "righteous men" of the Qingke League, forcing the three of them back again and again.

"Ah!" The sweaty cheek with the hammer in his hand was flushed, he let out a sigh of regret, and walked away.

"Go, go back to your grassland!"

"Turks dare to be so presumptuous in Chang'an!"

Zhang Xun patted Li Kuo's arm lightly and gave him an approving look.

................................................

Afternoon, breeze.

In a farm in the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City, Zhang Yanji was sitting crookedly in front of a pond, gently twirling a freshly planted plum with his left hand, and holding a fishing rod with his right hand. The breeze was blowing, so pleasant!Li Kuo and Zhang Xun changed into light clothes for a rare occasion, and the uncle and nephew sat cross-legged in front of a pile of straw, playing a game of chess with bated breath.Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun couldn't bear such a lazy rhythm the most, so they borrowed two good horses from the dealer, and repeatedly "begged for mercy" to "race" outside the village.

He casually grabbed a bunch of purple Gaochang grapes and threw them into his mouth lightly, Zhang Yanji closed his eyes comfortably.It's been a long time since I've been so straightforward. In Chang'an Mansion, there is a grandfather who supervises and trains, and in the Imperial College, there are instructors who supervise and detain. How can I feel as comfortable as my own farm?Light smoke and sparse willows, red apricot fragrance, it is not bad to be a rich man for a lifetime!

"Elder Master, Eldest Master? Forgive Uncle Yuan for talking too much, you have been in Zhuangzi for half a day, does the master know?" An old man in a dark plain brocade burqa cupped his hands at Zhang Yanji and said respectfully.

"Huh, huh?" Zhang Yanji opened his eyes reluctantly, and felt dizzy when he saw the person in front of him.This man's name is Zhang Yuan, and it is said that he was my grandfather's companion when he was young.After Grandpa succeeded to the position of head of the family, he also rose to become the chief housekeeper.Originally going smoothly, he offended his aunt because he was too upright, so he was demoted to work as a steward in the Zhang Family Farm.Uncle Yuan is good at everything, but he is too serious.In his old man's heart, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the master is the biggest.Don't say that he is an eldest son who has no real power, even if his aunt "comes here", without Grandpa's order, he will immediately send someone to send a letter back to the Zhang Mansion to let Grandpa know!

A fish jumped up, and Zhang Yanji ran to Zhang Yuan's side in two or three steps, and whispered: "Uncle Yuan, I came out secretly this time, and I didn't tell Grandpa. Don't tell him, or Grandpa will beat me to death." of."

"This..." Zhang Yuan looked at this wayward young master with some embarrassment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Uncle Yuan, good Uncle." Holding Zhang Yuan's hands, Zhang Yanji said coquettishly like a child: "Uncle Yuan, you watched me grow up and loved me the most. These are all mine. Friends, if you tell grandpa, they will definitely not be able to stay in the Zhuangzi. Do you have the heart to see Yanji lose face like this?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's face was a little loose, Zhang Yanji was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Besides, Yanji didn't come out this time for fun, Yanji went out of the city this time to 'collect wind and feelings' with Xiao Zhang Tanhua as the material for 'traveling scrolls' .” After speaking, he winked at Zhang Xun, indicating that the other party echoed his statement.

Although Zhang Xun is upright, he is not a pedantic person.Seeing Zhang Yanji wink at him, he immediately understood.

Stroking his beard lightly, Zhang Xun laughed and said, "You boy, you insist on dragging me into it. Yes, a certain one is Qinghe county magistrate Zhang Xun. He thought this kid was a malleable talent, so he dragged him out of the city to collect Some materials are prepared for the needs of the 'line volume'."

Zhang Yuan was already moved, seeing that there was someone like Xiao Zhang Tanhua teaching Confucianism and Taoism for the young master, he thought that even if the master pursued it in the future, he would not blame the eldest son too much.Salute to Zhang Xunman, and said in a harmonious voice: "Master Zhang, what's the matter, the master will be happy to have a Confucian like you teach the son's poetry, prose, classics and history. If you need anything, just send Ah Fu to let me know, the old man will definitely not I will neglect the distinguished guests." After speaking, Zhang Yuan 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 nibbling a ripe orange apricot.

Glancing at this 'bumpkin' lightly, Zhang Yanji smiled angrily and said, "Cut, I'm quite majestic. The land in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City is very fertile because the Longshou Canal runs across it. Most of the aristocratic families will My own manor house was built here. In summer, I come here to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air. It is very pleasant to sing and sing at night. My grandfather’s official said that it is not small, but it is not big. Although the Zhang family in Hedong is also a century-old family, but in Gyeonggi-do, the capital of the Son of Heaven, is no match for the Li family and Jingzhaowei family in Longxi. If you have nothing to look at at night, the officials from other counties who gave them gifts to Zhuangzi have to line up from Yuandongtou to Chunmingmen with lanterns! "

Seeing that Xiao Liu's face was flushed, Li Kuo patted Zhang Yanji's head with a smile: "What kind of prestige are you bastard and Xiao Liu, people can't always live under the shadow of their ancestors, everything must look forward .Take my grandfather as an example. The night before, he was the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The next day, he was dismissed from office 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 to bring up the past. Grandpa's injustice.After a slight pause, the young man continued: "Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. As the saying goes, once the emperor has his courtiers. The grace of the ancestors will always be exhausted. At that time, there is no real ability. Such a big family Karma is not something that people swallow with a word. (Note 1)”

Zhang Xun clapped his hands approvingly and said, "It is a blessing for the whole country to have such young talents in my Tang Dynasty. Yanji, you should learn more from Kuoer."

<The "Horse" returns.

Leaping from under Bao Ju, taking a few steps lightly, Nan Jiyun laughed and said to everyone: "The fish still can't stand their temper, they took the bait!"

.................................................

Note 1: This is my point of view all the time, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.Even if it is the shadow of your parents, you have to mention it.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.Very cool isn't it?Favorites, do you have any?
