Chapter 4: Jinling Castle (Ask for Recommended Collection)
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam, failed several times, and after the last list, he wrote a poem angrily:
"Not the first post-Fu Ju":
Stay until autumn comes on September 8,
After my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers are killed.
The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an,
The city is full of golden armor!
After leaving Chang'an, he really participated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and became the leader of the rebel army step by step, and finally captured Chang'an City, the capital division of the Tang Dynasty, changed the Yuan Jintong, and the country name Daqi.
He is the famous scholar emperor Huang Chao in history.
Legend has it that after he broke through Chang'an City, he massacred the Li Tang royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs, and he was also known for his brutality in governing the army. Therefore, although his life is very legendary, the historical evaluation is not high.
But this is just a piece of history that Jia Baoyu remembered in his previous life, and when he opened the history books of this world, he found that it didn't seem to be the same......
The Yellow Nest does not have a reputation for brutality and murder. According to historical records, he governed the army strictly, and after breaking through Chang'an, the rewards and punishments were clear, and he tried his best to win over the relics of the late Tang Dynasty and the surrounding secession of Jiezhen, and his power became stronger and stronger.
Therefore, his Great Qi did not have a lifespan of less than four years as recorded in the original history, but became more than ten years, and it was not until he died that the Great Qi was destroyed.
That's how the wheels of history are interlocked.
Jia Baoyu didn't know if this Yellow Nest had also been crossed, but it was because of the instigation of his little wings that the original historical trajectory had shifted, causing the subsequent history to become unrecognizable.
The founder of the Great Song Dynasty was not Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, but the Holy Ancestor Zhao Defang (son of Zhao Kuangyin).
It was not Kublai Khan who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, but Genghis Khan.
And the replacement of the Great Yuan Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty, but the Great Zhou ......
......
The Five Dynasties are not the original Five Dynasties, the Great Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty have also changed their taste, as for the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, they have not appeared, but a Great Zhou that is only twenty or thirty years old behind the Yuan Dynasty, and then it was overthrown and replaced by the Taizu of this dynasty......
Two similar but different histories swirled in Jia Baoyu's mind, making him a little dizzy, but at the same time, he was finally sure that he was in a dynasty that had no history in his previous life.
This dynasty, with the national name Daxuan, is the country ruled by the Han Dynasty.
Although the Great Yuan Dynasty founded by Genghis Khan was powerful and powerful for a while, with his death, the empire created by extreme force immediately showed its serious inadequacy in civil rule, but after a few decades, the powerful army began to decay and became unable to suppress the rebellion caused by the ruler's extortion.
At this time, the Mongolian aristocracy also began to fight and split, and one of the forces rose to replace the Great Yuan and changed the name of the country to the Great Zhou. The situation improved for a while.
It is a pity that the Great Zhou could not completely circumvent the shortcomings of the Great Yuan, and the tyranny of the Great Yuan Dynasty had completely angered tens of millions of Han people in the world, and peasant uprisings and aristocratic uprisings led by Han people all over the country were still emerging one after another.
The land of China is mired in the quagmire of secession and war.
Finally, the rise of Daxuan Taizu gathered the anger of the Han people for a hundred years, and the energy of half a lifetime, from the south to the north, step by step to suppress the civil strife, expel the foreigners, and finally end the history of the Central Plains being invaded and plundered by foreign races for a hundred years, and restore the Han dynasty!
This is the background of the establishment of Daxuan, when today's family is the Yuanxuan royal family.
Knowing that the background of the dynasty was the Han people, Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
As a Han with a sense of historical honor, and as a good student who grew up under the red flag, he has no feelings of ethnic discrimination. But it's hard to cross over, if he has a choice, he still doesn't want to kneel and lick the Manchu Qing like in the Qing court drama (of course, if he really arrives in the Qing Dynasty, in order to survive, licking is not completely unacceptable...... )。
"Brother Bao~!"
As soon as he came out of Mrs. Wang's room, a rough voice came from afar, and Jia Baoyu didn't need to look to know who the owner of the voice was.
raised his head, and sure enough, he saw the little fat man Xue Pan running over mellowly. He was very elated, and pulled Jia Baoyu and said: "It's been cloudy for the past few days, and finally it's just right today, I'll take you to Jinling City!" ”
Jia Baoyu was not impressed by Xue Pan's enthusiasm when he met, but was a little interested in what he said, so he only took a step back and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xue, I had this idea before, but my mother asked me to recuperate in the house......"
It's been a few days since I've been at Xue's house, why doesn't Jia Baoyu want to go out and visit Jinling City? Moreover, although he has been wearing colored glasses to look at Xue Pan, Xue Pan is very sincere to him, and what delicious and fun things have been sent to his yard these days. People are subjective, and under such a premise, Jia Baoyu's opinion of Xue Pan has changed a lot.
In fact, if you count it seriously, Xue Pan is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and he may have many problems with his children, which is not too strange for the children of the family. In addition, his father has only been dead for less than a year, Jia Baoyu estimates that Xue Pan's real transformation of the five poisons was fully formed after he arrived in the capital, got acquainted with the Jia family's gang, and was uncontrolled.
"Hey, what's there to recuperate, I see that your illness has already been cured, aunt, she is just blindly worried, like my mother, every time I have a little illness and pain in my life, she is very nervous, as if I am going to die tomorrow, I can't go here, I can't go there, but I don't know that I stay at home all day long, and I can't hold back the problem if I don't get sick."
Jia Baoyu didn't want Xue Pan to say such insightful words, so he was a little impressed by him, so he said: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to my mother......
"No, let's not go out of the city, I've called everyone and my entourage, even your little guy has been called, and I'm waiting. Auntie, I told them to go back to understand, otherwise if you go back, Auntie may not know how to tell us a thousand times, but we will miss the time. Xue Pan said, beckoned the two maids over, and asked her to go to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang to understand.
In this way, Jia Baoyu didn't say much. Xue Pan seems to be usually out and about, and he has an entourage, so he expects to be fine.
......
"Brother Bao, get on the horse?!"
At the southeast corner of Xue's house, Xue Pan got on the horse, and when he turned around, he saw that Jia Baoyu was still stunned, and urged.
Jia Baoyu let out an "oh", looking at the five-foot-tall horse in front of him, his heart was a little empty.
He had never learned to ride, and when he first got on a horse, he was very uncertain. Knowing that horseback riding is probably a very common skill in this era, in order not to show timidity, Jia Baoyu had to step on the stirrup and want to force the stool.
He thought too much, and when several of his little servants saw Jia Baoyu hesitating, they hurriedly helped him together, and almost carried him on the horse, which was very stable.
Just sat up, condescending, with a wide field of vision, Jia Baoyu suddenly felt that it seemed to be good.
Xue Pan saw that he was sitting firmly, and he was about to leave.
Suddenly, four or five people came from outside, some old and some young, all dressed in a vulgar manner, not like ordinary people.
As soon as he saw Xue Pan, a middle-aged man who was walking in front greeted him warmly: "Yo, Brother Pan, I was about to talk to you about something, you see that even your third uncle is here, let's talk inside......"
Listening to the tone of the voice, it looks like a relative.
Xue Pan pulled his face down all of a sudden, very unsightly, and snorted coldly: "I'm not free today, what errand do you want to do, go to my mother!" ”
After speaking, he ignored the embarrassed faces of several people, and left on horseback.
Jia Baoyu's servant also led the horse to follow.
After walking more than a dozen steps, seeing that Xue Pan was still angry and cursing in his mouth, Jia Baoyu couldn't help asking, "Who are those people?" ”
Xue Pan said hatefully: "They are all prisoners, seeing that my father is gone, they all want to beat my family's idea!" ”
Jia Baoyu was thoughtful. Xue Pan was not very entangled, and after scolding for a few more sentences, he threw away his hand and said: "Whatever, my mother told me not to promise them anything, and I don't bother to pay attention to them, let's go, let's continue to go to the city!" ”
......
As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling City not only has a strong cultural atmosphere, but also has a very wide urban area.
Xue Pan is purely taking Jia Baoyu out to play today, and he has no purpose for himself. It's just that Jia Baoyu is new to the city, and he just wants to see more, see and know, and he doesn't have a certain place to go, so the group has been crazy for a long time, and it's just a dry walk.
However, when he passed by two green buildings in the middle, Xue Pan tried his best to encourage Jia Baoyu to take him in to play.
Jia Baoyu also wanted to go in and take a look, after all, compared with the "red light district" that would not be seen in later generations, the ancient Qinglou was a place with a long history, a complete system, and a fair and honest history, which made countless otaku in later generations reverie. The atmosphere inside is definitely very different!
However, after thinking about his current situation, Jia Baoyu still refused. Go in at this time, do something, it's too hurtful, don't do anything, it's too hard!
Xue Pan saw that Jia Baoyu insisted on not going in, so he just forgot it. One is that he is also afraid that his mother and aunt will know and complain, and the most important thing is that Jia Baoyu is indeed a little smaller, and he doesn't know if that thing is mature, if he is only happy by himself at that time, let him stare at the sidelines, this kind of thing is something that Xue Pan is never willing to do, it is too unrighteous! If Jia Baoyu was a few years older, he would pull him in if he said anything, and he would give out the money and let the kiln sister inside entertain this cousin on his behalf, so that when he arrived in the capital in the future, he would have no reason not to show his "collection" to himself......
At noon, Xue Pan felt hungry, so he said to Jia Baoyu: "Let's go, let's eat first, and then take you to the Qinhuai River after eating." Hehe, let me tell you, it's going to be lively over there! ”
Well, ten miles of Qinhuai Jia Baoyu naturally did not know that the most prosperous place for "prostitution" in ancient times was ......
Entering a big restaurant called Yixuanju, the shopkeeper of the restaurant obviously recognized Xue Pan and personally came forward to greet him.
"Shopkeeper Huang, take out all the best wine and food in your store, and I'm going to entertain distinguished guests today!"
"Derre!" After hearing this, the shopkeeper Huang immediately went to arrange. Xue Pan said to his entourage and servants: "You want to eat what you want to eat, you don't need to save me money today!" ”
"Thank you, uncle!" The descendants of the Xue family suddenly seemed to be happy, and even the little servants of the Jia family who came with them were very excited, and then said several good words, then sat aside and discussed what to eat.
"Brother Bao, just say whatever you want to eat, and be polite to me." Xue Pan pulled Jia Baoyu to sit down and said very generously.
Jia Baoyu knew that this product was the rich man, and he intended to be arrogant in front of him, of course, he was not polite to him, and let Xue Pan order nothing to stop, and soon more than ten dishes with full color and flavor were served on the table one after another, of course, there was a pot of wine......
After eating a meal, most of the dishes were not touched much, and Jia Baoyu felt a little pity in his heart. However, Xue Pan didn't feel it at all, he was half-drunk and half-drunk, he pulled Jia Baoyu downstairs and went straight to the door, and the shopkeeper and the guys in the store didn't stop him.
Jia Baoyu asked, "Don't you have to give silver?" ”
Xue Pan's little servant Wu Quan hurriedly explained: "Our uncle often eats and drinks here, and it is all on the books, and at the end of the month, the shopkeeper will send someone to the house to write off the accounts." ”
I see, Jia Baoyu said that he was lonely and unheard.
At this moment, a man's voice came from the door.
"Hey, I heard that this is one of the best restaurants in Jinling City, I sold you for a good price today, your father and I will be generous, let you have a good meal, three days later, you have to happily follow Feng Gongzi, if you make him unhappy, let me not get the silver behind, see if I don't clean you up!"
With the voice, a man in his forties and fifties, scrawny, hunched over, pulled in with a girl holding a sign in his hand.
After the man entered the door, perhaps because the light inside the room was darker than the outside, he couldn't see clearly for a while, so he squinted his eyes and looked around, describing it as looking more obscene.
Xue Pan was a little half drunk, and he didn't pay attention when he went out with his head up, and he bumped into the person all of a sudden. Xue Pan looked down and saw that it was a person in ragged clothes who was dressed like a beggar and bumped into him, and he was immediately furious: "Damn, where did you come from poor sour goods, you don't have long eyes when you walk?!" ”
"The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned, please calm the anger......" The man saw that Xue Pan was fierce and vicious, followed by more than a dozen people, where did he dare to have a little temper, and hurriedly bent down and begged for mercy.
