Chapter 6: The Scourge of Words
Let's say that this Xia Heng Town is mixed in the neighborhood and market, although there is Xiaohui, it is just some tricks to live. What Shao Changyun said to him during this www.biquge.info time has already involved the emperor's conspiracy.
If you don't occupy your place, you don't know what to do. Even if Xia Heng has a little knowledge, he is also isolated at the foot of the mountain, and it is difficult to know that the flowers bloom on the peak. If you comment rashly, it will inevitably have some hints of peeping at the leopard.
Xia Heng locked his eyebrows and stared, thinking for a long time, but he couldn't get a glimpse of the subtlety, so he shook his head and sighed: "The beasts on my land are difficult to see the birds of the nine heavens. ”
"The giant eagle reaches the sky, there is still a peak of difficulty, why should you be vain. And you have been away from Beijing for a long time, and the things you know will inevitably be mixed with absurd beliefs. I couldn't understand it for a while, and I couldn't put it away. Shao Changyun's eyes were slightly stunned, hazy and unclear, and he said indifferently: "Although Emperor Xiao is a big disaster of words, you can see what kind of identity he has issued an order to investigate." ”
Xia Heng shook his head and said: "I only came to Shengjing today, and I only got some absurd beliefs at the city gate, and the details are still unknown. If you ask the name and identity of the person who is the ruler, I will not be able to say. ”
Shao Changyun closed his eyes slightly, his expression was extremely tired, and a trace of an almost inaudible sigh appeared on his lips. Raise your hand and gently knock on the height in front of you, and say a word every time you knock. Every sound is a life.
"Zhang Ji, Zhongshu Province is the seventh product. As a long fu to praise the blooming appearance of the peony, the bell was imprisoned and died in prison on the seventh day. ”
"Liu Wenhua, the grandson of the left servant of the Zhengsanpin Rite Department. In the preface of the "Tale of Spring", the book is preceded by the year name of "Xuanwen". Emperor Xiao was angry that he had no dynasty and was beheaded.
"Wang Zhang, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion of Zhengwupin. In the idle article "Farming Record", it is said that "the long eyes look forward to the brightness", and the punishment is to be cut in half. ”
"Sun Yong, the son-in-law of the Shangshu of the Second Rank Military Department. Because the spring is full of flowers, make a song and mourn. Far away in Yazhou, he died on the way. ”
"Wei Wei, from the five grades of the bachelor's ......"
Xia Heng listened carefully, and his heart suddenly froze, and he said in a low voice: "The military flow and the people who killed in Emperor Xiao's will are all from the families of powerful ministers and nobles. On the contrary, there is no one who is reckless and cold. ”
"If you use the water of the boat, you can compare the people under the knees of Emperor Xiao. The family of Kinmen Zhuhu, but a trickle; The importance of the common people should be its source. Shao Changyun's face showed a sad look, but in an instant, he was hidden under the calm thoughts. The common people are ignorant, and they are the most desperate for their lives. Emperor Xiao wanted to warn the people and block the mouth of the world, this move to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys is the cheapest. ”
"Shengdou Xiaomin, I can't see Er'er. The first-class haters of the rich and jealous of the noble are as many as the carp crossing the river. Xia Heng snorted out laughing and sneered, "And this prince and noble people are blessed by their ancestors, and there are many people who are smiling." From this point of view, Emperor Xiao is in a big way about the disaster of words, and there are not a few people who applaud and say that they are happy. ”
Without waiting for Shao Changyun to speak, Xia Heng continued: "He is afraid of losing the hearts of the people, so he will not investigate the common people." ”
Shao Changyun did not agree with this remark. His eyes were as heavy as thick fog and dense clouds, and his heart was bitter like eating coptis. is full of gloom and has nowhere to complain, how can I say that I am sad. Even so, he still said lightly: "Emperor Xiao was born recklessly, and he attaches the most importance to prestige. The people's opinion is only one of them. ”
Shao Changyun looked sideways at Xia Heng, and saw that his face was full of questions, so he had no choice but to continue: "Although the world is peaceful now, it is not a prosperous and prosperous world in the end. The common people are tired of food and clothing, and those who learn to read and write can have geometry. Emperor Xiao's great literary prison is not in the ordinary people. ”
"Then according to what you said, Emperor Xiao is using the matter of literary prison to have other plans."
Shao Changyun pursed his lips and hooked a faint smile, and slowly spoke: "Kill the power and kill the nobles to protect the imperial power." However, the words were like a hammer of gold, hitting Xia Heng's chest hard.
Xia Heng stared at Shao Changyun's expression, and when he saw him smiling, he couldn't help but be angry, and he grabbed the back of the chair beside him, trying to calm the wind and waves in his heart. After a while, he said ruthlessly: "The matter has come to this, you can still laugh." Since this is the meaning of Emperor Xiao's great literary prison, it is difficult to ensure that the next powerful person is not your Shao family! ”
Shao Changyun pressed his hand and motioned to Xia Heng to lower his voice, and said leisurely: "I wrote to you, but I didn't just invite you to tea. ”
Xia Heng's heart fluttered, and he slowly calmed down, pulled the coarse cloth robe on his body and said: "What you said in your letter, you want me to dress up as a carpenter first, and then enter the mansion, but there is no deep meaning?" ”
Shao Changyun pointed to Tian Huang, who Xia Heng had just put on the table, and said with a smile: "How can this birthday gift be without the bottom and the box, even so, it is indispensable to find a carpenter." If you weren't dressed as a carpenter, how could you enter my mansion in a grand manner, and you wouldn't have attracted that eyeliner. ”
Xia Heng laughed and snorted, "Then you and I, a carpenter, have been talking privately in the study for so long, it must not be in line with your identity as a grandfather of the country." I can't say that I have already attracted suspicion in my eyes, but I don't know it. ”
Shao Changyun lowered his hand and straightened the corners of his slightly wrinkled clothes, and said indifferently: "The longer I talk to you here, the more I will show that I am sincere to Emperor Xiao." ”
"Why is that?" A hint of interest flashed in Xia Heng's eyes, and he asked with interest.
Shao Changyun saw that his eyes were clear and he looked expectant, but he didn't say a word, took out a small scroll from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Xia Heng.
Xia Heng took it respectfully, and when he unfolded it, he saw several fine white drawings pasted on the shaft surface. Xia Heng took a closer look at them one by one, and the several white drawings clearly depicted a pumpkin-shaped box of carved longevity peaches.
The box is ingenious, the box body is painted gorgeously and exquisitely, and the intersection of longevity peach and longevity branches is more deliberate and delicate. However, a blank sketch has made people eager to hold the box in their hands.
"Shao Ye's pen movement is becoming more and more picturesque, and he has reached the realm of perfection." Xia Heng couldn't help but praise it.
Shao Changyun's expression was very indifferent, and he didn't care about Xia Heng's praise, and said slowly: "Since I think it's good, I will ask you to help me make this box, and all the sizes are attached to the end of the scroll." ”
Xia Heng was stunned, and hurriedly unfolded all the scrolls, and sure enough, there was another plain paper attached to the end, which should be extremely detailed. Xia Heng couldn't help but sigh, and the admiration on his face collapsed instantly.
"The play has to be done enough, since it is pretending to be a carpenter, it should be deserved." Shao Changyun raised his eyebrows and said: "When you get outside, find a reliable craftsman, for two months, don't leak the news." ”
"I'm not good at carpentry, I'm good at this." Xia Heng pursed the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to talk in front of the door of the King of Hades, and the black-faced ghost just now should order something." ”
"How can you tell that person has eyeliner?" Shao Changyun asked casually, not surprised. If you don't even have this vision, you don't need to trust him with what you do.
You have to know how Xia Heng distinguishes, and listen to what he will say next time.
