Chapter 17: Is it a man, a ghost, or a god?
The old man saw Han Shengwei bowing his head and thinking, and didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he was frightened by the sentence "calling the first emperor by his name", it was a great crime of rebellion, and he wanted to kill his head, so he immediately comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of your words and deeds, don't make any more mistakes." ”。
Han Shengwei was interrupted by the old man, and he also understood the old man's meaning, he wanted to find out what age the old man was, or simply said that he wanted to know whether the old man was a human, a ghost or a god, but he couldn't just take it out and ask, so he just smiled awkwardly.
Seeing Han Shengwei's reluctant smile and his face was full of embarrassment, the old man thought that his relief had worked, and in order to avoid being embarrassed again, he changed the topic and asked, "Is the saint good today?
Talking about this, Han Shengwei already knew in his heart that this current saint must refer to Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and the queen of heaven is of course Wu Zetian.
If you can use the word 'holy today', the old man should be a person of that era.
People in the era of Tang Gaozong? I am a good person, a person from more than 1,300 years ago? Either ghosts or gods, certainly not people!
I haven't dealt with ghosts and gods, this is not easy to handle, the white-bearded old man is an old coyote, a monster, but it is Xiao Ke's ancestor, at least it is a relation, these two are different, what if they don't pay attention to it, what if they are stimulated......
Seeing that Han Shengwei didn't speak, the young man reminded, "Brother Han Ren, the family teacher is asking." ”。
After being reminded by the young man, Han Shengwei nodded to the man awkwardly, looked at the old man and said, "Hmm...... How to say it, it's all ...... It's all gone."
I wanted to say, 'I've been dead for more than a thousand years,' but suddenly I felt that something was wrong, so I changed my story and said that I had died.
"Oh...... People have been rare for 70 years, and when I came here, the saint was already in a dragon's body...... Well?......", the old man was sighing, and then frowned again, and asked: "The queen of heaven and phoenix are healthy, why ......."
Han Shengwei wanted to figure out the old man in ancient costume, so he took the initiative to answer: "After Tang Gaozong Li Zhi died, about eight years later, Wu Zetian established the Great Zhou Dynasty and became the empress for sixteen years, and then he also died. ”。
"This is true!", the old man was startled, sat up straight, and then understood, and muttered: "Linqiong Daoyou is really amazing...... The Empress, hehe, it's really unheard of...... Well?...... There seems to be a fallacy ......".
The old man seemed to think of something, and asked: "Doll, you said that eight years after the death of the saint, the queen of heaven was called the emperor and empress, and then died in the next sixteen years, I have only been here for more than twenty-two years, and the saint was still there when I came, and this time is very different, and such jokes are not to be made." ”
Han Shengwei was even more confused when he heard this, especially when the old man said that he had only been here for more than 22 years, but why did he call Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor?
Han Shengwei couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask tentatively: "Old man, I'm talking about Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zhou Empress Wu Zetian, I don't know if the old man is asking these two people? Li Zhi's father is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's father is Tang Founding Emperor Li Yuan, I don't know if what we are talking about is the same thing?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, maybe Han Shengwei called those people by name, which was a terrible thing in ancient times.
The old man nodded: "Yes, it's just that there is a huge disparity in time, so I am confused." Doll, where did you hear this?".
"It's been written in the history books that these things happened more than 1,300 years ago. ”。
"When?!", the old man stood up excitedly, his chest-length beard trembling slightly, and it could be seen that his body should be trembling.
The young man hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and looked at Han Shengwei with a face full of disbelief.
Neither of them spoke, and the old man didn't ask any more questions, I don't know if he was calming down, or pondering the truth of what Han Shengwei said.
Han Shengwei saw the reaction of the two, but he had his thoughts, and continued: "Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty let Chan, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty; Yang Guang succeeded Yang Jian to the throne, Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang; Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty Yang Yu Chanrang, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty; Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, succeeded Li Yuan, and during his reign, Wu Zetian was a talented person; Li Zhi succeeded Li Shimin, and during his reign, Wu Zetian was Zhaoyi, then the empress, and then the queen of the day after tomorrow, and then established the Wu Zhou ......."
"Doll, everything you say is true, I don't have doubts, I was 1,300 years ago, it was the Western Zhou Dynasty. The old man interrupted Han Shengwei, sat down slowly with a long sigh, and muttered: "I don't want the Tang Dynasty to be like the former Sui, but it is also as short, sad and lamen......table."
"The old man, it's not like that, Wu Zetian returned to power Li Tang before his death, and Li Xian, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, and then the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years. ”。
The old man nodded: "Oh...... It is also in line with the etiquette system, and the crown prince should have succeeded to the throne. ”。
Han Shengwei continued: "After the Tang Dynasty, it was more chaotic, it was the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, then the Song, Liao, Western Xia, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and then the Republic of China, and now the People's Republic. ”。
Speaking of which, Han Shengwei didn't say anything, in his mind, everything that should be said was almost done, as for how the old man understood it, he didn't know.
He wanted the old man in ancient costume to answer his question, but he hadn't thought of the routine, or the specific way and method, which should be asked and which should not be asked, how to ask, and where to use as a breakthrough......
He is even more confused now, and he doesn't know what kind of connection there is between the old man in ancient costumes, 'I have been here for more than 22 years', and the 'Holy Li Zhi' more than 1,300 years ago.
It can be said that until now, he has not been sure whether the two creatures in front of him are humans or gods.
