Chapter 1 Commenting on Yang Guang's merits and demerits
The second year of the Tang Dynasty.
Changan.
Lee's Tavern.
The tavern is not big, about ten square meters, at this time, a young man brought out two bowls of white rice, and shouted: "It's time to eat, Fubo, it's time to eat, come and eat!" ”
"Okay, young master." A slightly older man answered for a moment and handed a jar of wine to the guest: "Guest officer, this is your wine, you are good to go, welcome to come back next time." ”
Seeing off the last guest, he walked to the dining table with a smile, looked at a few dishes on the dining table and said, "Young master, since your serious illness a month ago, the whole person has changed. ”
"Can it stay the same, I'm a person who has walked around the Ghost Gate, and if it doesn't change, I'm really going to the Ghost Gate." The boy replied nonchalantly.
Fu Bo said with relief: "It's getting better, the young master is getting better and better."
Before you got sick, you spent almost every day with a group of friends who drank and carried, and never cared about things in the tavern.
You were sick, none of your friends, none of them came to visit you, and the old slave was really angry at that time.
Fortunately, you have your own natural appearance, and with the help of the two beneficiaries, you were cured.
Not only was you cured, but your whole person changed, and you no longer went out with those fox friends and dogs, and you also began to take care of the tavern that the master gave you.
The lord and the lady will definitely feel relieved that they have spirits in heaven.
However, young master, the old slave has always been curious, where did you learn your first-hand cooking skills? ”
Regarding the housekeeper Fu Bo's question, the young man in white said casually: "My cooking skills, that is what I thought of in my dream, I didn't expect that the whimsy in my dream could come true in reality, and this dish would be so delicious." ”
In fact, what Fu Bo didn't know was that the young man in front of him was no longer the same boy he used to be. He's a traverser.
Li Feng crossed over, and traveled through a teenager with the same name and surname, and even looked very similar, the only difference was the times.
Now it is not the 21st century, but the second year of the Tang Dynasty.
There is also a system called the achievement system, as long as you are recognized by others or make achievements, you can get achievement points. Achievement points can be purchased for anything in the system shop.
This is also Li Feng's secret.
Fortunately, there was no one in Li Feng's house, only him and the old servant - Fu Bo.
Fu Bo also thought that Li Feng had matured a lot after a serious illness, which made him feel very gratified.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, shopkeeper Xiao Li, what delicious food did you make today." I don't know when there were two more people at the door.
After Li Feng saw the appearance of the two of them, he smiled and said, "Lao Li, Lao Fang, why are you here." Fauber, quick, give the two distinguished guests that pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”
"Yes."
Fu Bo bowed slightly to the two at the door, and then went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.
Li Feng solemnly invited the two into the tavern.
Lao Li said: "Today we are here to see you, how is it, has your body recovered?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, I have fully recovered, thanks to the two of you, the grace of saving lives, the kid remembers it." Li Feng said very gratefully.
Lao Li waved his hand and said, "That's fate, I just happened to meet." Don't keep it in mind. ”
It turned out that when Li Feng first crossed, he was sick, and when Lao Li and Lao Fang passed by the tavern, they found Li Feng who was sick and fainted, so they asked people to go to the doctor to see a doctor for him.
After Fauber came back, he knelt in front of the two of them and thanked them a thousand times.
Li Feng retracted his thoughts and said: "For you, this is a gesture, but for me, this is a life-saving grace, don't say anything, I will always keep it in mind." There will be something to be paid for the future. ”
Lao Li and Lao Fang looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied with Li Feng's performance.
Humble, courteous, and gracious......
Fu Bo brought the bowl and chopsticks and respectfully placed them in front of Lao Li and Lao Fang: "The two benevolent fathers, please use them slowly." ”
Lao Li and Lao Fang were not polite, nodded their heads, and began to eat and drink, looking at the posture is not the first time.
Li Feng took a few bites and asked, "You two haven't been here for about ten days, is there anything worrying?" ”
Lao Li nodded and said, "There are indeed some annoying things. It's been solved though. ”
"It's good to solve it, if it can't be solved, you can come to me, even if I'm not 10% sure, at least 80%."
"Haha."
Lao Li and Lao Fang both laughed, thinking that Li Feng was bragging.
Li Feng also heard the contempt in the laughter of the two, and he was not annoyed, who made himself young.
But who knows that there is a history of more than a thousand years under their youthful appearance.
"You can test me, and the questions are up to you."
"So arrogant, why don't you usually see it?" Lao Li chuckled.
Lao Fang thought for a while and said, "Lao Li, since shopkeeper Xiao Li said so, I have a question to test him." ”
"Oh? What topic? Lao Li asked with some surprise.
Lao Fang said with a smile: "On the merits and demerits of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui." ”
Li Feng and Lao Li were stunned for a moment, and both of them looked at the old house thoughtfully.
"What? Won't answer? A hint of cunning flashed in the old house's eyes.
Lao Li immediately understood Lao Fang's intention, this was to test Li Feng, but he was worried that Li Feng was just bragging.
Li Feng also thought of Lao Fang's intentions, and said with a slight smile: "Lao Fang, you are very cunning." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The old house was stunned.
He thought that Li Feng would talk about Yang Guang's merits and demerits endlessly, and he would be at a loss for it, but he never expected to say himself.
Li Feng laughed and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is a tyrant who is unscrupulous.
In order to build the Grand Canal, he ordered the transfer of more than one million people from Henan and Huaibei counties to dig the Tongji Canal, conscripted troops to attack Goguryeo three times, went out on patrol every year, and built a large palace every time he traveled. ”
Lao Fang smiled and said, "This is a fact." ”
"Just because this is a fact, most people will comment that Yang Guang is a bad person, and he is not the emperor for everyone?"
"Isn't it?" Li Er also became interested.
Everyone in the world scolded Yang Guang for being a faint monarch and a tyrant, and he had defeated the great rivers and mountains of the Great Sui.
Li Feng shook his head and said: "I admit that Yang Guang is greedy for pleasure, regardless of the life and death of the people, and is only dedicated to himself, he is a tyrant and a faint king.
However, I don't think of an emperor who only does bad things and doesn't do good things. ”
"Oh, tell me about it." Lao Li's interest is even greater.
Li Feng said: "Let's talk about the Grand Canal first, at that time, we only saw millions of people digging in misery, but the contribution of this Grand Canal to future generations is immeasurable, let's talk about it now."
The opening of the Grand Canal has promoted economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south, and has maintained national unity and strengthened the centralized system.
Now everyone can see the scene of merchant ships traveling back and forth on the canal, and the boats are endless. ”
and Yang Guang unified the north and the south, although this was not what he did after he ascended the throne, but he also did it. He ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties and achieved great unification.
Datang can be able to gain this territory, and Yang Guang has made great contributions.
In addition, Yang Guang's unblocked Silk Road allowed my Han men to go deep into the West, laying the foundation for the future seizure of the Western Regions.
Although there are many loopholes in the creation of the imperial examination, it allows a large number of learned people to become officials through the imperial examination, and the officialdom no longer has to be monopolized by the family.
It is a pity that the merits and demerits cannot be offset, and for the time, the excess is greater than the merit, and even for the time, the reactive power is the fault.
In addition, Yang Guang was requisitioned and disturbed by more than 10 million peasants in the past ten years, with an average of more than one person per household serving in service, resulting in the tragic phenomenon of "the world died in service".
Therefore, the world's evaluation of Yang Guang is all negative. ”
"Good. Well said. Lao Li applauded loudly, "Yang Guang has had it, and it is a big mistake, and it is a big mistake that is difficult to redeem." But he also has great merit, great merit for thousands of years,
However, the merits and demerits cannot be offset, and if you are wrong, you will have to bear the consequences, so he died, and the great rivers and mountains of the Great Sui were defeated.
Lao Fang, are you satisfied with this answer? ”
Lao Fang came back to his senses and said: "Satisfied, this answer is very good, if you have merit, you have to say it, and you can't bury his credit because it's too big." ”
"Since you are satisfied, you two should believe in me, and you can come to me if you have difficulties in the future." Li Feng said with a smile.
"Wait." Lao Li said, "You're right, you do have talent, but Lao Fang just gave you a question."
Then I want to give you a question too, can you? ”
"Of course, please ask the question."
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "Just now you commented on the merits and demerits of the former Sui Yang Guang, and now you are commenting on the current majesty." ”
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Li Feng was choked by Lao Li's words.
Lao Fang also looked at Lao Li with a strange expression.
Lao Li said with a smile: "What, don't you dare to evaluate?" ”
After Li Feng adapted to the discomfort in his throat, he said: "Old Li, you are impatient, and it is a crime of killing your head to evaluate today's saints." ”
"What are you afraid of, we don't talk nonsense everywhere, Lao Fang, do you say yes?" Li Er asked.
Lao Fang nodded and said, "Yes, we will listen to this by ourselves, and we will never wear it randomly." ”
Fu Bo opened his mouth and said: "Two ben dukes, this matter is too big, please don't force my son-in-law, he is the ninth generation of the Li family, and he has the mission of passing on the ancestry." ”
Hearing this, Li Feng rolled his eyes, this is to let himself be a species. The feeling of a horse.
Lao Li smiled: "Fu Bo, don't worry, since I dare to mention it, I dare to guarantee that there will be no problems with Xiao Li's shopkeeper." ”
"This ......"
Fu Bo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Feng: "Fu Bo, since Lao Li said so, we have to believe them."
Lao Li, I don't know why you are interested in His Majesty today, but my opinion is not necessarily everyone's opinion. ”
"It's okay, tell me, what do you think of our majesty?" Lao Li asked again.
Li Feng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty today, who has only been on the throne for two years, implements benevolent government, governs the world with culture, humbly accepts advice, strictly practices economy, and persuades farmers to teach agriculture, so that the people can recuperate, and the country and the people are safe, and in a few years, the Tang Dynasty will be extremely strong under the leadership of Your Majesty."
Therefore, His Majesty is a rare good emperor, and he will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, and his name will remain in history. ”
Lao Li rolled his eyes: "Who wouldn't do anything about sycophancy, I will too, and I also said that Your Majesty is immortal." ”
Lao Fang smiled and shook his head, he was speechless about this, and said in his heart: "Boy, you never dreamed that the person standing in front of you would be the current emperor, it's useless to pat yourself on the back." ”
The corners of Li Feng's mouth twitched, and he said: "Old Li, what I said will be fulfilled in a few years, but the immortality you said cannot be realized in a lifetime." ”
"On what basis do you say it will be fulfilled in a few years?"
"For today His Majesty is a man who can listen to the words of his loyalty, and at the same time he is open-minded, benevolent, and above all he wants to prove himself." Li Feng explained.
