Ping An Biography

Chapter 322 The Story of Yueyang Tower

Although there was a woman like Peach Blossom Fairy standing next to Zhang Ning, who was wearing a gray lapel robe and a square scarf and dressed as a woman beside Zhang Ning, but Zhang Ning really didn't want to pretend to compete in front of women.He didn't have any brothers in the Ming Dynasty. His adoptive father, Zhang's family, had all died. The "brother" of Zhu's family, the prince of Jianwen, might not be able to reconcile with him. With a cousin like Yao Erlang, he sincerely hopes that Erlang will be better and can help him .

Zhang Ningyu taught Yao Erlang earnestly: "We are not a Jianghu gang, what kind of loyalty do we want to be called brothers and brothers; a man doesn't want to fight with others, as long as others don't bully his family members, he can tolerate and take a step back. Lost a piece of meat? Who in the army doesn't know your Erlang's identity, if you lose face at Xiaochu, those soldiers dare not take you seriously?

Although you are reckless, you are young after all, and when you still have time to make progress, I have high hopes for you.Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. I hope that you will spend less time with those soldiers and get along with people who are generous and talented.Like Zhu Butang from the Senate Department, at least you can learn how to get along with people for a few years, and Wang Yu is also a good person... what?I don't like to get along with literati, my cousin won the Juren, aren't we good brothers?Besides, if you read more books, do you also need to know a few more words when studying the art of war?Even if they are military generals, can Feng Youxian, Zhang Chengzong and others not be friends with each other? When will they bother with all these crap..."

Seeing Yao Erlang nodding, Zhang Ning didn't want to say any more, and I don't know if he listened to it... I guess most of the time he didn't listen to it. It's too easy to educate people by preaching and teaching.There are some things that you really have to understand by yourself, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much reason others say.

Zhang Ning recalled the "Two Liang" mentioned by Yao Erlang when he described the incident before. He said that a girl only needed one tael, but why did he say that it cost two taels? There was also "lifting up his trousers to ask the girl to argue"...he already guessed Yao Erlang also went whoring, but he still couldn't help but ask for confirmation: "You also played with a bitch in the brothel?"[

Yao Erlang was also unambiguous, nodding directly in agreement.

This made Zhang Ning very upset again, because he planned to marry his sister to Erlang.Thinking about it, this kind of thing is a crooked thing, and it's not like I haven't looked for a lady before. Gu Chunhan used to be called Fang ln, and he came from the old Nanjing courtyard. Erlang may have heard somewhere that Zhang Ning even raised Gu Chunhan at home...

Zhang Ning wanted to ask Yao Erlang to do things that he could not do himself. This is the paradox of "education".It's like some parents in the world, who set an example to do bad things by themselves, but verbally say that they should teach their children this and that, isn't it nonsense?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning didn't know where to start.But when I thought about the clean appearance of my sister, I finally couldn't help getting annoyed. The more I thought about it, the more angry I was, I couldn't choose what to say: "If she is a woman, I will poke your bird! The pink head who receives customers in the kiln, in the body Maybe it's still filled with the last man's thing, and it hasn't been washed, so you go and poke it for a while, you won't be afraid of getting sick..."

Yao Erlang was stunned when he heard that, and blurted out: "What's wrong with being a bitch?"

"Gore|disease!" Zhang Ning's heart was already on fire, and he got up angrily and called the guards over, "Take him out and whip fifty whips in public, so I will remember it long."

The guards led Yao Erlang out of the Town God's Temple, and Zhang Ning also came out, and met Wang Yu who was waiting outside. Wang Yu saw Zhang Ning's uneasy expression, and asked, "Master, do you want to go to Yueyang Tower?"

"It's all here, let's go." Zhang Ning said.

Yao Erlang looks like a dog, with fair skin, but he is also a man. He was tied up in the street and whipped with a leather whip. There was a "cracking" sound, and he didn't even groan.

But he still couldn't understand Zhang Ning's dissatisfaction. He understood: until the end of Ming Dynasty, syphilis, a serious disease, had not been introduced into China, and AIDS had never been mentioned, but gonorrhea and so on were ancient. The disease, which is recorded in various medical books, mostly occurs in areas with poor sanitation and those romantic places; although it is not serious, it is often difficult to cure, and it often oozes pus.If this Yao Erlang didn't take whoring|prostitution seriously, and then he would be contaminated by his younger sister, the younger sister's clean body would definitely be polluted... Although it was a trivial matter, Zhang Ning would be happy to think about it.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at Yueyang Tower, but Zhang Ning was in a full state of mind at this time, and he could only see a scenic spot in his eyes.Climbing upstairs, you can see the wide water surface of Dongting.

This is the first time he has visited Yueyang Tower, and he had no chance to go there in modern times, but it is said that the modern Yueyang Tower was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, and the real Yueyang Tower can only be seen at this time.A Yuezhou official is standing tall, reciting aloud: "... to Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are calm, the sky is bright, and there is a vast expanse of green; the sand gulls are flying, and the golden scales are swimming; the Anzhi Tinglan is lush and green. And or The long smoke is clear, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light jumps into gold, the still shadow sinks into the jade, and the fisherman's songs answer each other. What is the joy of this... It must be said, "First worry about the world's worries, and then enjoy the world's joy."..."

Zhang Ning thought to himself: Damn it, how about singing?Not long ago, I took Xuande Zhu Zhanji's imperial rations, and when the cannon fired, I knelt | licked the enemy, the devil would believe you, why worry about the world first.

The officials were overjoyed after hearing this. This is not to write a poem, but to express their sincerity to compromise with each other. The essence of a battle in the officialdom is not the outcome but the timing of compromise.Immediately, someone praised him greatly: "We have to listen carefully, listen attentively!" The prefect Wang hurriedly shouted: "Come here, prepare a pen and ink to write down, not miss a single word!"

Even the Peach Blossom Fairy, who had said sarcastically just now, showed anticipation. She seemed to like Zhang Ning's poems, but Zhang Ning hadn't "written poems" for a long time.

Zhang Ning paced back and forth in the pavilion for a few steps, thinking that with his reputation as a man, it is not impossible to use the scenery to express his feelings to write a poem that is well-organized... But because he is not in the mood, and the poems are really good I'm not very good at it. It's really not easy to compose poems temporarily, so I might as well copy them.As long as you copy poems later than the year of Xuande, it's not a big problem. It's a waste to put ready-made resources without having to die of brain cells thinking about poems, songs and dances.

When he thought of copying, he quickly understood the idea.In his previous life, he was indeed a fan of Tang Bohu. He liked both poems and paintings. That's why he was able to recite poems as long as Tang Bohu's "Peach Blossom Poem". ...Tang Bohu really had a song about Yueyang Tower, Zhang Ning remembered.

He recalled it once, and immediately opened his mouth to chant: "West Lake in Baling City, going upstairs, Bo Yinghan Qingqiu in front of the building..."

"Good!" Prefect Wang exclaimed loudly.

Zhang Ning really didn't think it was good... It's not that Tang Bohu's poems are bad, but that it's not suitable for the occasion, and it's obviously winter.But changing "Qingqiu" to "Bitter Winter" doesn't rhyme anymore, let's just let it go, anyway, it's just coping.

"Counting points to sail the sky and falling, I don't know who is the boat of the five lakes."

As soon as the voice fell, there was the sound of clapping hands around, everyone looked at each other and nodded, and commented on the benefits of this poem solemnly.On the other hand, Peach Blossom Fairy's face was slightly disappointed, obviously compared to sentences like "I don't envy mandarin ducks, I only envy immortals", this poem doesn't suit her taste.

Unexpectedly, a voice from the back of the crowd said abruptly: "The person who wrote this poem is probably someone who wants to be Fan Li, but it is very rare for the prince to say it. Moreover, most of the people in the poem want to establish a career as an assistant. But he retired after success, but was not able to do so, he was a little frustrated, could it be that the prince is frustrated at this time?"

Zhang Ning's attention was immediately attracted when he heard it. He knew Tang Bohu's life story, and of course he understood the mentality in the poem, but he didn't take the content of the poem seriously at this time; Tang Bohu is a person who can instantly understand the inner feelings of the poet in just 28 characters. He is definitely a person with real talents and practical learning. Of course, the most special thing is that this guy dares to be flattering at this moment. What to say, it is indeed a bit special.

"Who was speaking just now?" Zhang Ning couldn't help asking.

At that moment, the pavilion became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Maybe everyone also wanted to wait and see how the king of Xiang would deal with the naysayers.In fact, Zhang Ning really didn't want to do anything to that person for the time being, but he was just curious and wanted to see who he was.

Soon, a young man stood out from behind the crowd. He was in good shape, with a tall and round forehead.The man cupped his fists and made a bow, then stood up straight, and said with fear, "I will be the magistrate of Baling, and I will not change my name and surname if I am going to sit, Xu Zixin. The prince led troops to invade Yuezhou, and the magistrate Wang said that he wanted to protect the people from the misery." Surrender, he said that if you want to surrender, we will surrender, it's nothing, but if you want to flatter here, the subordinate officials feel humiliated. Anyway, the knife is in the hands of the prince. Save yourself the pain."

Zhang Ning smiled and said: "Today, all the sages are in a good mood to accompany this king to discuss poetry and essays in this famous place. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to say that people who are killed or cut into pieces? I will tell you that before I was appointed king by my father, I also passed the provincial examination. It’s not an exaggeration to think of yourself as a scholar who was an official in the “pseudo dynasty,” right?”

By making such a statement, he is determined to tell everyone that they are all "our own people", at least not class enemies.Everyone agreed.

Zhang Ning looked at Xu Zixin, nodded and said, "Xu Zixin, I remember, you interpreted Cai's poem well."

This made the young magistrate a little bit at a loss, so he had to give another salute in response.Zhang Ning said again: "The magistrate Wang did nothing wrong. Does this inevitably lead to the suffering of the people of Yuezhou? After the king's army arrived in Yuezhou, it made three chapters, strictly enforced military discipline, and did not do anything wrong to the people. It is also your credit! Xu Xu Since the county magistrate has the courage to be the first to serve the people, why not accept an official under the king's command, and then seek more benefits for the people?"

After Xu Zixin heard it, he couldn't get along with Zhang Ning for a while, so he had to say: "The lower officials are ignorant, and they can't bear the kindness of the prince. It's all thanks to Mr. Wang. If the people want to thank you, you should also thank Mr. Wang. You don't have much to do with the magistrate who speaks lightly. big."

After some remarks, the trip ended peacefully. [

After leaving Yueyang Tower, Zhang Ning told Wang Yu: "Qingmo was also a county magistrate, and his age is about the same as that of Xu Zixin, so we should be able to get along better. You should find an opportunity to persuade him to see if he can sincerely vote. I have a good impression of people, at least their character is good; now our local government is also a problem, and we need some more upright people, otherwise it will not be good for our reputation if we mess up the local area."

Wang Yu replied: "The humble job will do its best."

Zhang Ning nodded. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he planned to live in the temporary government office of the "Walking" Senate Department nearby. First, he could exchange strategic opinions with his staff in time, and second, he could set an example and not disturb the people.

Zhu Heng returned to the government office after dark, and sat in Zhang Ning's bedroom for a while without drinking tea, saying that he couldn't sleep well recently and drank tea at night to fear that he would not be able to fall asleep.Zhang Ning asked Peach Blossom Fairy to pour a glass of boiled water.
