Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

The aging Fan Zheng, leaning on a walking stick and supporting the energetic Du Shengxia with one hand, watched the eight grandchildren of He's family reading, practicing martial arts, or laughing, with eyes full of joy.

After struggling all his life in this Tang Dynasty and repeatedly eradicating major hidden dangers, his children and grandchildren should be able to live a stable life.

The confidants were seriously affected by Tubo, and they had already turned their heads to the south. They had already eaten the central, western and northern three of the five Tianzhus, and they didn't know whether they had adapted to the life of Xu Xian.

Tubo, which was at the end of Qiannu, and Dashi, who was at the end of Qiannu, collided fiercely on the border of Western Tianzhu. Plateau civilization and desert civilization shined brightly at the same time. Each suffered 5 casualties and ended in a draw.

The Japanese country had no ambition at all. Shi Jian was regarded as a concession and their pride was castrated. They just held their breath and worked hard to send Tang envoys, rotate foreign students and monks, trying to catch up with the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there was a slight change on the peninsula. King Kim Bo-min of Silla took advantage of the rebellion in Baekje's hometown and swallowed up a lot of land. The troops stationed there started fighting with Silla.

"I think back then, Ye Ye mounted a thin yellow chestnut horse, rode with three thousand Yue, and went straight to Huihe..."

Fan Zheng patted the back of his grandson Fan Xiang's hand, reminiscing about the past, and kept talking about the past. Those who didn't know thought that Fan was eight feet tall and eight feet in waist.

old!

Apart from reminiscing, Fan Zheng couldn't do much.

I don’t know whether it was because of Fan Zheng’s evil reputation or because Wu Zhao wanted to see Fan Zheng’s brave resignation. Even if officials who were students from Dunhuafang made mistakes, they would at most be demoted or expelled. They did not go to Taiwan Prison to learn how to punish the new generation. The method of coming to Junchen and asking for Yuanli.

It is said that when he was at his most manic, even Fat Di Renjie wrote a confession in Taiwan prison.

Fan Zheng's old subordinates are mostly safe and sound, and even Tang Yidian, who was a bit greedy, has retired to his official position safely. I heard that he went back to his hometown of Tanzhou to eat steamed bacon.

This guy is older than Fan Zheng, and I don't know if those old teeth can still tear bacon.

Chen Zuchang and Chen Xujun hung out together in Yongzhou and managed to become an official.

On the other hand, He Gouxiong had a sudden enlightenment one day and opened a teahouse in Xuanyangfang, Wannian County, hanging banners saying "Tea Special".

Fan Zheng was sure that if he got a Taibao, he would definitely write "Taibao Tea".

In any case, Fan Zheng had to support him, so he paid a visit on the day he opened.

Well, when I served myself, my tea skills were mediocre, but now it is cooked with distinct layers, and the aftertaste lingers in my mouth.

Wannian County Judicial Assistant Chen Lijian died in the line of duty one day while arresting a murderer.

The rebellious scholar King Luo Bin was still incited by Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren, and persuaded Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye to raise troops against his will, and became famous all over the world with an appeal.

The army was defeated, Li Jingye's brother lost his head, and the long-dead Li Ji had his grave dug up and his coffin chopped.

The results of Li Ji's descendants are completely different in the two Tang books.

The "Old Book of Tang" mentions that Li Jingye killed his uncle Li Siwen, and many of Li Ji's descendants were implicated and executed. In later generations, Tubo general Xu Sheren occupied Huyanzhou.

In "New Book of Tang", Li Siwen was not killed and Wu Zhao gave him the surname Wu.

The whereabouts of King Luo Bin are unknown. He may have escaped into Buddhism.

General Zuo Yulin Li Zhan came to the door, folded his hands respectfully, and presented a yellowed poem manuscript.

The poem was written by Li Yifu in Sizhou when he was looking forward to returning to Chang'an. Unfortunately, he was not pardoned and returned to Beijing until his death.

If he could survive a few more years and defeat Gaozong, he would naturally come back when Wu Zhao was in power.

This is life!

Li Yifu committed many evil deeds. When he fell, the people rejoiced and wrote "Marshal Liu Xiangdao of the Hejian Road March to Defeat the Tongshan Thief Li Yifu and Revealed the Cloth" to celebrate it. It is indeed impossible to make a comeback.

The title of the poem is "Ode to the Parrot".

"The sailing boat sails across the sea, touching the net to reach the mountains. The wings of the sword are carved into the cage, and the thoughts are reflected in the colorful clouds. The sound of the admirers is loud in the morning, and the shadows are cold at night. Being able to speak is very valuable, and we can help you remember Chang'an."

If he did not plagiarize the works of famous people, Li Yifu's poems could crush Fan Zheng's eight streets.

Of course, Li Zhan was not a simple person. Later, he joined Zhang Jianzhi in launching the Dragon Coup, and his official rank rose rapidly.

When Wu Zhao discovered Li Zhan, he was extremely surprised. He felt that he was not unkind to his father and son, and he never thought that Li Zhan would betray her.

In fact, it's normal. No matter how powerful she is, the end will eventually be approaching, so it would be stupid to continue to stand on her side.

The words are cruel, but this is the reality.

"Li Zhan! Now you are gradually turning over yourself. In the future, the descendants of the Fan family will take care of you in their free time." A kindness turned into an enemy, and Fan Zheng's gentle words of entrustment were enough to offset the old kindness.

Li Zhan naturally accepted the order happily.

After Li Zhan left, Fan Mingqian came over with a hum in his nostrils, and it seemed that he didn't like to see him.

"Okay, Erlang, please stop thinking about it. Sheng Mi's kindness and fighting against Mi's hatred, this ending is already very good."

Fan Zheng spoke openly.

Du Shengxia said angrily: "You and Dalang haven't left the house for a long time. What are you doing?"

Fan Mingqian immediately beamed: "My brother and I have nothing to do. We are compiling a book manuscript."

Fan Zheng frowned: "If you dare to mess with history books, I won't beat you to death!"

It is best for history books to be compiled by officials.

Even if you are practicing privately, you must have a historian background in your family, otherwise a few heads will not be enough to cut off.

Du Shengxia slapped the back of Fan Zheng's hand angrily: "Talk to Erlang and don't put on such a stinky air!"

Fan Mingqian curled his lips: "It doesn't matter what family background the family has, but it also needs to be able to build history."

Fan Zheng became angry from embarrassment, raised his cane, and slapped Fan Mingqian's butt moderately.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you now." Fan Mingqian gave in. Aye couldn't afford it. "Just practice a family lesson."

"Fan's family motto?"

"Family motto!"

What a bad name, it sounds like the family motto of a businessman.

"Don't be greedy for unexpected wealth, don't drink too much wine; don't think about giving favors, and don't forget the favors you receive."

Fan Mingqian shook his head and recited.

Hey, sounds familiar?

"Don't read this sentence when you give favors, have you done it?"

Fan Zheng made fun of Fan Mingqian.

Fan Mingqian spread his hands: "What does it have to do with me? My brother wrote it!"

Fan Zheng smiled, his body suddenly softened a little, and he leaned on Du Shengxia's shoulder without moving. Fan Mingqian quickly asked someone to help him carry him into the house, and Fan Baili hurriedly brought Fan Xiang and other grandchildren over.

"Have you called a doctor?"

Fan Baili growled lowly.

Fan Zheng said feebly: "No need to call a doctor, no one can escape birth, old age, illness and death. At my age, it's time for me to accompany Aye's mother."

"Remember, in the future, next to the Yan family's tombs in Fengqi, there will be the Fan family's cemetery. This is the blessed place second only to the Yan family that Taoist priest Chen Junian of Xuandu Temple has seen."

"The grave has been reserved. It is a joint burial tomb. This is where your mother-in-law will return when she is old."

"Mom, stop drinking secretly."

With a sigh of relief, Fan Zheng's life came to an end.

In the Huaronghou Mansion, all the white flags were raised.

Qing Honglu came in person and made Fan Zheng's funeral a glorious one.

Prince Li Dan, who used to be named Li Xulun, Li Lun, and Wulun, was ordered to offer condolences and planned to be buried with him in the Qianling Mausoleum. Du Shengxia informed Fan Zheng that he would be exempted.

Fan Zheng was buried in Fengqiyuan, accompanied by the Yan family.
