Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Poet Who Doesn't Like Poetry (I)

"Oh!" Wang Zhilian and Wang Han, their eyes dimmed all of a sudden, like a teenager who has lost a love letter.

Zhang Qian looked so amused in his heart, and hurriedly added with a smile, "However, I have it at home." If you are in a hurry, you can go with me to get it at home. Anyway, there is still some time before the gates are closed, and I will lend you enough carriage to get back to the city. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!" Wang Zhilian and Wang Han were immediately overjoyed and bowed their hands to Zhang Qian. "I'm okay today, so I'll go to the house and bother!"

"Thank you Brother Zhao, my younger brother has been idle lately. I want to visit the house! With Brother Zhao's carriage, we promise to ...... tomorrow morning

"The carriage will be sent to the Ordnance Prison, just give it to my junior brother!" Zhang Qian was in a good mood, and without hesitation, he sent an invitation to the two, "Get in the car, let's call Uncle Zhang Shi by the way, he shouldn't have anything important to take care of recently!" ”

After that, he opened the car door, sent Wang Zhihuan and Wang Han into the carriage one after another, and then jumped in himself, and ordered the family to catch up the carriage and go straight to Zhang Ruoxu's house.

In the afternoon, there were many people entering the city and few people leaving the city, so the carriage traveled all the way unimpeded. Along the way, the three brothers inevitably talked about what they had seen and heard in Chang'an in the recent past, and they were all very emotional.

It turned out that Bi Gou asked the imperial court to prohibit the sale of official beards, but because of this, he was demoted to Liuzhou, and it was also spread in Guozi, Taixue, Simen and other schools. Although there are a very small number of people with millions of family assets and deep backgrounds, they are elated by Bi Gou's expulsion from the court. However, most of the other students were privately indignant about Bi Go's fate.

There is no other reason, since the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system and the academic institution system have been gradually established and perfected to select talents, although there are many defects. However, it makes most people feel fair. It also allows those students who come from small families to see the hope of breaking the barriers through hard work and personal talent.

And the traitor who has only been born in recent years has broken the fairness that everyone dreamed of. Not only blocked the passage for those from small families to rise. At the same time, it also makes the knowledge taught by Guozixue, Taixue, and the four schools all become decorations!

Let's ask, if you can buy an official by spending money, and then you can give priority to the waitlist if you spend money. There are several universities in Chang'an City, what is the need for existence? Especially the four schools, this school that specializes in the children of officials of five to seven grades and a small number of "gentlemen among the common people", among the students, how many elders can come up with thousands of dollars to pave the way for them at once? Since it's useless to learn, what is the point of them learning well and learning badly?

"If a traitor is in power, he will damage the fortune of the country! originally thought that after the abdication of Wuhou, the government would quickly restore clarity, but who would have thought that in the end, it would be like this! ”

"It's a pity that the athlete is still sacrificing his life for the Tang Dynasty. As a result, they fought bloodily for ten years, and they were not as good as others! ”

……

Wang Zhilian and Wang Han are both just young and weakly crowned, and they are both less than twenty years old according to their age. Therefore, although they are talented, they all have a bit of resentment and youthful tendencies. As he spoke, he lost control of his voice.

On the contrary, it is Zhang Qian, who is slightly older than both of them, and knows some historical trends. Afraid that the two of them would come out of their mouths, they kept speaking and explaining, persuading the two to look at the long term. Don't lose confidence in the court and the future because of a little cloud in front of you.

Wang Zhilian and Wang Han understood that he was motivated by good intentions. After criticizing the current affairs, the mood slowly stabilized. The three of them tacitly changed the topic and began to talk about some ups and downs, but they were also happy.

The reason is also very simple, the most talked-about incident in Chang'an City recently is that Zhang Jiuling and Qinlu joined forces with their swords and beat the little prince of Thiri Shi who came to make trouble in the restaurant.

One of the parties is an acquaintance with everyone, and the other party is of a different race. You don't have to think about it, you know which side to be on.

And the outcome of the conflict is really happy. It is said that on that day, Zhannu and his four entourages were cut off their clothes, thrown directly from the second floor on the long street, and ran naked for more than half a mile, only to find that they had written the word "cheap" on their backs. (Shanu, the second son of the Turgish Khan.) Tang Huaide, the younger brother of the king of the county, colluded with Mo Si to kill his brother to stand on his own, and was subsequently killed. )

"I only saw Brother Bo Gao write a good word and make a good poem that day, but I didn't expect that his skills were so agile!" Zhang Qian was fascinated when he heard it, and couldn't help but stroking his palms in admiration.

"He, his main credit for that day was writing. Shanu and his four retinues were all beaten down by the Qinlu family alone. Wang Han was not convinced, and commented sourly on the side. If there were other people around everyone at that time, the result would have been similar! ”

"If you change to someone else, you may not be able to fight!" Wang Zhihuan rolled his eyelids and retorted with a smile. "As the old saying goes, a woman is the one who pleases herself. In our Datang, it is the woman who draws the sword for the sake of pleasing herself, and the woman does not let the eyebrows. If you change to an eye-catching one, everyone will not use knives for you and others, but will only watch you both fight with blue noses and swollen faces, and then clap your hands and applaud on the side! ”

"You ......" Wang Han was choked by him and almost turned his back on his breath, his eyes widened and he rubbed his fists.

"Don't do it, it's just to cover it up. Who just said that?! Wang Zhihuan hid in the corner of the carriage while returning Wang Han's previous words as they were.

……

In the midst of laughter, time flies. Before I knew it, the carriage got off the official road and walked on the dirt road to Zhangjiazhuang.

The wooden wheels do not absorb shocks, and the dirt roads have become potholed due to the recent rains. Therefore, the body bumped very much, forcing Zhang Gui, who was driving the car, to put the speed to the slowest speed.

Seeing that his Zhuangzi was close at hand, Zhang Qian poked his head out of the carriage, planning to find a familiar tenant to bring a message to Zijuan and ask her to help arrange the family banquet. Unexpectedly, before he could see any familiar figures on the side of the road, behind him, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, followed by four or five riders dressed in colorful clothes who could not distinguish between men and women, and flashed past the carriage.

"Who's so bold? How dare you run a horse so fast on the edge of the village, what if you hit someone?! Zhang Qian was taken aback and quickly retracted his body back into the carriage. Before he could tell the coachman to be careful, there was a sudden piercing roar in his ears, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way of the grandfathers!" ”

Before the words fell, seven or eight more war horses swept past the side of the car. One of them thought that Zhang Gui was hiding too slowly, so he picked up the horsewhip and slapped it the horse's eyes.

"Sigh, shh The carriage lost control in an instant, was dragged by the horses, and went on a rampage on the dirt road.

"Brother Zhang, Ji Ling, jump out of the car!" Wang Han is experienced, and decisively pulled Zhang Qian and kicked the car door with his foot. "You go first!"

"Abandon the car!" Wang Zhilian's voice sounded closely, and immediately, the whole person rose into the air like a harrier, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into the wilderness by the roadside. "Brother Zhang, don't panic, the ground is soft, jump towards me, I'll catch you!"

"Thank you! I'll do it myself! Although Zhang Qian was frightened, he didn't practice fighting for so long after all. Realizing that the carriage might overturn at any moment, he jumped to the other side.

When his feet hit the ground, he immediately took advantage of the momentum to rush forward, made contact with the ground with one hand, bent his elbow to release the force, and rolled his body like dough. Then there was a clean side turn, all the movements in one go, and it only took a few fingers to flick the fingers, and he was already standing firmly in the bare farmland on the side of the road.

Looking at Wang Han again, he actually stepped on the pedal next to the carriage door and jumped onto the wheel. Immediately, he lifted Zhang Gui, who was already scared stupid, with one hand, and jumped down. Like a harrier holding a lamb in its mouth, draw a long arc in mid-air, and stand firmly on the ground eight feet away.

"Hurry, hurry, don't let them get too far behind! Jumong despised us! The crappy Chinese words came from the front again, and every sentence sounded extremely harsh. But it was the perpetrator who blinded the horse, more than ten feet away, beckoning his entourage to hurry up, and from beginning to end, this person did not look back. (Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for support 😁)

"Dog thief, didn't your grandfather teach you how to ride a horse?" Wang Han was furious, left Zhang Gui, pointed to the back of the perpetrator, and shouted and cursed.

"Han boy, you are looking for death!" Behind him, someone immediately roared and returned the mouth, but it was several other members of the perpetrator's entourage, Kankan rode his horse to follow. All of them are brocade hats and mink furs, and they are dressed up in Tibet. Dancing his teeth and claws at everyone, arrogant and unstoppable, "My family can afford you, so I only blinded your horse." Kneel down immediately and apologize, or else ......" (Note: Son, referring to the son of a slave. In ancient times it was an insult. )

"Who is Hu Lu scolding?" was scolded as a slave by several Tubo people on the edge of Chang'an City, how could Wang Han be obedient. As soon as his eyes widened, his hand pressed on the saber at his waist.

The Tang people are still martial, and the scholars of the Tang Dynasty all have the habit of traveling with swords. But most of them have swords that can only be used as ornaments, and they have never been bladed at all, let alone bloody. Therefore, when the entourage of the Tibetan perpetrator saw that Wang Han was about to draw his sword, instead of being afraid, he was aroused to be competitive. Giving up on joining up with the accomplices in front of him, he scrambled to hold his mount, adjusted his direction, and prepared to rush over and teach the scholar a lesson.

"Bang!" Before they could urge the war horse to speed up again, a fist-sized piece of dirt suddenly came into the air. Impartially, he hit the eye of a war horse under the crotch of a Tibetan evil servant. Beat the mount to the point that it let out a mournful roar, and its front hooves rose into the air, "Sigh-"

"Poof!" The arrogant and unstoppable Tibetan evil servant on horseback did not expect the retribution to come so quickly, and he was thrown to the ground like a stake, and his head was broken and bleeding.

"Hannu is looking for death!"

"Cut him, cut him!"

"Cut him down to avenge the heat of the fog......"

There was a roar, and the other evil servants dropped their whips, drew their knives in their hands, and rushed towards the king who had just sent out the dirt. The blade in his hand is dazzling and cold in the setting sun.
