Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 7 The Awakening of Chess Pieces

"Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao, Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou..."

Chen Qingsi recited Liujia, and Xiaodouzi also recited beside him.

Facts have proved that the talent of the poet Li Bai is amazing.

At the age of five, he recited Liujia, and at the age of ten, he observed hundreds of schools of thought.

Xiaodouzi is almost six years old and still can't read it by himself, so he has to let Chen Qingsi read it.

In fact, after a night of recovery, his injury recovered better and faster than the doctor expected, and he was able to walk slowly.He could walk no slower than Mr. Peng Qi with a cane, but he did not leave Mr. Peng's home, but chose to stay here.

Elder Peng lives in the center of the village, which is the most prosperous place in the village. However, his humble house is located at the end of the village, which is relatively remote and far less safe than here.

I had nothing to do, so I just took Xiaodouzi and taught him how to read.

Listening to Xiaodouzi's reluctant reading, Chen Qingsi's eyes drifted to the village street. Wherever he looked, Kuang Zheng riding a donkey and a donkey cart were slowly approaching.

Xiaodouzi also saw the familiar donkey cart, happily put down his book, shouted "grandfather", and jumped away.

Chen Qingsi walked over slowly and looked at Elder Peng who looked tired after getting off the donkey cart. He was slightly moved in his heart and called out: "Old Elder."

In fact, after completely accepting Chen Qingsi's memory, he no longer had any initial doubts about Mr. Peng Qi.

Peng Qilao was a teacher in his early years and was quite famous in the Jiangnan area. He worked with Fugong Er during the war. When the Tang Dynasty pacified Jiangnan, he received courtesy from Li Jing and served as his staff. He also served as the county magistrate in Suzhou, Jiangnan. Finally, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, where he opened a private school to educate people, and was promoted as a local elder because of his prestige.

Mr. Peng Qi taught so many students in his life that he couldn't even keep count.But Chen Qingsi was his last one. Although he did not become a disciple, he always regarded him as his student and was highly respected by Chen Qingsi himself.

It's just that Chen Qingsi has been in the officialdom for 20 years and has seen too many intrigues and schemes. He has long developed a habit of being cautious about everyone and everything, and he can't change it.

Mr. Peng Qi had already learned about Chen Qingsi's situation from Kuang Zheng, and he couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, okay, as long as it's okay, it's okay."

The joy in words cannot be concealed.

Kuang Zheng took the lead and said: "The soldiers sent by the county will arrive at dusk. I will go and make some arrangements first."

Elder Peng just responded, then pulled Chen Qingsi and said: "Don't stand, go in and sit down to talk..."

He first let Xiaodouzi play by himself, and then detailed to Chen Qingsi how Dai Hongling had sent troops to station in the village and search the mountains in batches.

Chen Qingsi was devastated. Having been in politics for more than [-] years, he could best understand the mentality of most officials who seek stability without making any achievements.

It's a great good thing that nothing happens. Once something threatens you, even if the probability is pitifully low, you don't dare to gamble with your future.

Li Zhi now wanted to depose Wang Liwu, but Changsun Wuji disagreed life and death, and Chu Suiliang and his party used natural disasters and Jiangnan military disasters to make a fuss to criticize Emperor Li Zhi's moral conduct.

For a while, Li Zhi had no choice but to give birth to Sun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang had no choice but to avoid natural disasters. Only the military disaster in the south of the Yangtze River could vent the frustration in his heart.

Therefore, Chen Qingsi was sure that Dai Hongling did not dare to gamble, and he was also sure that the Jinling Xiao family, which was already suffering because of Concubine Xiao Shu, did not dare to take action against him rashly.

Of course, Chen Qingsi is not sure at this moment that those people are the work of the Xiao family...

"Old man, I heard that the fire phoenix demons are very cruel, and they are all murderous masters!"

Chen Qingsi looked horrified.

This is a public opinion war between the Tang Army.

The martial virtues of the early Tang Dynasty were undeniable. A rebellion of more than [-] people was put down in less than two months by two civil servants and local troops.It took three moves: sealing off the war zone to limit the spread of unrest; a public opinion war to publicize the rebels' evil deeds; and finally, Feilongqiu, which had no need for the generals left by Li Shimin.

As for evil deeds, you’ll understand what’s going on if you think about it.

Elder Peng was in a heavy heart. He knew the reasons for the rebellion best. Seeing that Chen Qingsi was affected by public opinion, he couldn't explain it, so he just sighed.

Chen Qingsi said to herself: "I heard that the rebel leader knew sorcery. When he was about to be captured, a colorful cloud came from the sky, and a huge phoenix landed on the top of the mountain, carrying the rebels into the sky. If there are really rebels hiding, In the mountains, didn’t I ruin their good deeds?”

Peng Qi Laoqiang smiled and said: "Are you afraid? This is not like you!"

Chen Qingsi shook her head and said worriedly: "I have no regrets in my late life, so what is there to be afraid of? I'm just worried about the misfortune of the Xiao family. What will she do if something happens to her?"

"Hmph!" Mr. Peng Qi snorted, thinking to himself: "They wish they were widowed, you stupid boy."

Suddenly, he glanced at the boy in front of him and said: "Silly boy, don't think too much, this matter is out of control. Your marriage contract has been finalized. If you want to regret the marriage and make the Xiao family a laughing stock, your life will be at stake. ”

There must be a valid reason for divorcing a wife, which in common terms is seven reasons.

A wife cannot be abandoned at will unless she commits the seven crimes.

Regreting the marriage is equivalent to breaking the law. Under the current situation, if he is jailed, it will be equivalent to giving the Xiao family an honest excuse. Don't even think about it.

Chen Qingsi said hurriedly: "Wan Sheng never dares to have such thoughts. I am just thinking about how to protect her."

Elder Peng couldn't figure out what Chen Qingsi was thinking for a while. He didn't know whether he meant it or not. He could only say: "Don't worry, the rebels have been destroyed long ago. It's all rumors that they left on a phoenix. None of the core members of the rebels were spared. Only a young girl managed to escape..."

Chen Qingsi asked curiously: "She is the daughter of the leader of the thieves? Have you never heard that she has a wife?"

Peng Qi said: "She is the daughter of the thief leader's sister, and the daughter of Zhang Shuyin, the second thief leader of the rebels. She is too young to be successful, so don't worry too much."

"In this way, I can rest assured that I will be born late."

Chen Qingsi felt as if a big stone had fallen from her heart.

Peng Qi was old and had worked hard all night. After saying this, he couldn't help but yawn immediately.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qingsi quickly bowed and left.

When she came to the courtyard, Chen Qingsi looked up at the sky, smiling face to smiling face, squinting her eyes slightly, and there was no trace of the distress of being controlled by others on her face.

If you can’t resist, you might as well enjoy it.

Since it is a chess piece in someone else's hands, you should act like a chess piece and follow the player's ideas.

If you want to play chess and overturn the chessboard, you must have that ability.

Only with the awareness of being a chess piece can you get the opportunity to play chess.

Chen Qingsi doesn't mind becoming a chess piece in someone else's hands, it just depends on who laughs last.

I just don’t know what that Xiao Miaochen looks like?

Do you deserve the handsome, suave and wise me?
What Chen Qingsi is most satisfied with about this body is that he has a sunny and handsome appearance, which is much more handsome than he would be in later generations.
