Chapter 49: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
(I do not send it out automatically, and I am dizzy)
"The fifth Lun is not worthy of the name, and there is no wisdom to know people."
At noon, on the way back to Taixue on a donkey, Deng Yu was upset for Liu Xiu.
But Liu Xiu just silently didn't answer, Deng Yu then patted the donkey to catch up, parallel to Liu Xiu, and continued: "I thought about it after I went back last night to calm down, and I was shocked into a cold sweat. ”
"Thanks to Uncle Wen's efforts to turn the tide, take us to Shangguanli, and find the help of Gongchong Gongwang Zong, this successfully exonerated the fifth Lun, so that Uncle Wen is his great benefactor."
Deng Yu said: "The eighth correction is also, he didn't explain the cause and effect clearly, and when Uncle Yan Wen did his work, he only mentioned the donkey......"
Thinking of this, Deng Yu was so angry, he gave the donkey who sat down a whip, and it hurt so much that it ran around on the road, and finally lifted Deng Yu on the road and fell into the mud.
It was Liu Xiu who helped him hold the beast, helped Deng Yu up, and scolded with a smile: "Don't take it out of anger, what's more, it's not a merit at all." Didn't I do this to get the fifth Lun's thanks, isn't it useful for a Lang official's appreciation? Instead, he praised his chivalry, righteousness, and did his best. ”
Of course, the real reason is to be swept up in it and have to do it. Seeing that everyone was looking for their own death, Liu Xiu, an old man, had no choice but to stand up and guide.
After the deed was completed, he habitually hid his merits and fame, just like when he was in the former team county - let his brother go out of the limelight, and everyone's praise was also attributed to Bosheng, Liu Xiu prided himself as Zaifu, just follow Bosheng to assist.
This also led to the fact that in the crowd, Liu Xiu was not easy to attract attention at first glance, but it was Liu Long, because of his courage to speak, he was the first to respond to the flag, so that Wu Lun was very grateful, and Fang Cai was mostly talking to Liu Long, and the others were just verbally thanking - hundreds of people went this morning, and it would take several days to talk in detail one by one.
Liu Xiu didn't care much, helped Deng Yu, who had injured his foot, onto the black donkey, led him forward, turned around and quipped: "Compared with the fifth Lun, Zhonghua can know me, which makes me even more happy!" ”
……
When I got home, after the fifth Lun bathed and changed clothes, I asked the eighth correction to tell the details of yesterday's events.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but choke: "Why didn't Ji Zheng say it earlier?" From this point of view, Uncle Liu Jiao and Liu Wen are the biggest heroes! ”
He still wondered, how did the Tai student become a thing, if there was no smart person to grasp the direction, this group of stunned young people still don't know how much trouble they would cause, maybe they would be kind enough to kill him.
And when I first saw him, Wu Lun swept it at first glance, and he actually felt that Uncle Liu Wen was "mediocre", so he simply said hello, and spent more energy talking to Liu Long, which was really a sin.
I was really too snub about Uncle Liu Wen, but who let him be so low-key.
Fifth Lun immediately called the Fifth Blessing and asked him to inform the Fourth Clan in the north of the city: "From now on, Uncle Liu Wen will double the amount of briquettes sent to those dozens of students...... Comparable to Liu Long. ”
The family background of the students is good, and people may not be able to look at this thing, but human etiquette starts from small things. Fifth Lun is fighting not to make a profit this month, but also to let Nuan Yang Tan bake these students who have helped him comfortably.
After the fifth Lun went on a trip to the Wuwei Siming Mansion, when he came out again, not only did his fame spread throughout Taixue, but he also heard about it in the two cities of the east and west. As a result, his family's briquettes have sold a lot, and the daily sales have risen from 1,000 catties a day to 1,500 catties.
Sure enough, in these years, fame can also be converted into money. Thinking about the "Yuan Shiqian" who was magnificently in Maoling, he almost didn't spend a penny of his own money, and most of it was crowdfunded by his little fans and admirers.
But only a day later, Fifth Lun learned from his subordinates that when his story was circulated in the city, there was an interesting change.
To describe it in the table of contents of later chapters and novels, it is: "The students raised the banner to ask for their lives, and they respected justice and saved Boyu!" ”
In the whole incident, the most critical lieutenant Ma Yu was deliberately hidden in this version of the story. On the contrary, he praised Gongchong Wang Zong and said that he was a figure like the prince of Wei.
"This time I met an expert in fame."
The fifth Lun is undoubted, and it is different from the time he misunderstood Wan Xuan.
And as the story is spread by people with intentions, in the eyes of many people in Chang'an, Gong Chonggong is the life-saving benefactor of Wulun!
At this time, that day, the student and Tai went to Wuwei Siming Mansion, and the family supervisor who delivered the letter to Kong Ren came to Xuanmingli and sent a message of worship with a smile.
"Fifth Lang official, Emperor Sun Gongchong has prepared a banquet, please come to the mansion!"
……
"It's reasonable, I have to go to Shangguanli to meet Gong Chonggong immediately."
In the story circulated in Chang'an City, Wang Zong has been confirmed as the fifth Lun "life-saving benefactor", if he is neglectful, he is ungrateful and will be despised by others.
You see, fame is also a double-edged sword, and when you use it, you will also be coerced by it.
But Yangxiong looked anxious, remembering Huan Tan's warning.
Although Huan Junshan speaks ugly, but the political sense is extremely sensitive, when the previous dynasty mourned the emperor, Fu and the great Sima Dong Xian both wanted to associate with Huan Tan, Huan Tan was able to be implicated when they fell, indicating that he was very good at avoiding trouble, and his reminder was not untargeted.
Yang Xiong then asked Wu Lun to wait for a while, so that he could explain the matter of Wang Zong to him well.
After Yangxiong put down his dignity and went to the National Teacher's Mansion, Wu Lun now really treats Yangxiong as a teacher.
Greetings in the morning and evening, serving meals in person, and warming the wine for him, so that Yangxiong, who was used to being lonely, was very happy, and at this moment he sipped wine and said: "Boyu, do you know how many sons-in-law the Son of Heaven has?" ”
"I heard it's four."
The four sons born to Wang Mang and his queen are Wang Yu, Wang Shu, Wang An, and Wang Lin. There is also a concubine, that is, the Huang royal family owner who lives in the Ding'an Pavilion opposite Xuanmingli, in the early winter, the fifth Lun occasionally sees a wooden kite rising from the palace, and I don't know if she put it, but unfortunately I don't know its name.
Yang Xiong said: "The emperor's second son, Wang Shu, was ordered to commit suicide by the emperor because he killed the slave maid. ”
At that time, Wang Mang was driven out of the court by Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and took refuge in the new capital, which caused a huge sensation in the world and made him famous.
The problem of slaves and maids in the Han Dynasty was already serious, although the law prohibited the cruelty of slaves and maids, but in terms of the execution power in the last years of the dynasty, it was difficult to manage it into other people's homes, and the slave sue the lord and the government did not accept it. The master is simply unscrupulous, killing at every turn, and even some nobles drive backwards to cause people to die.
In this case, Wang Mang actually sacrificed his son for the sake of a slave and maid, and the righteousness of destroying his relatives, justice and other praises poured in from all directions. There were hundreds of officials who wrote to sue Wang Mang, and the first thing the county did after the virtuous literature was conquered into Beijing was to knock on the voice for Wang Mang, hoping that he would return to the court.
Accumulating popularity is the first step for Wang Mang to realize the Chan Dynasty.
However, what Yang Xiong is mainly talking about today is Wang Mang's eldest son Wang Yu.
"In the previous dynasty, when Emperor Ping was in the previous dynasty, the emperor forbade his relatives Wei to enter the court on the grounds of the rebellion of Ding and Fu in the mourning of Emperor Shi, and even the biological mother of Emperor Ping of Han was not allowed to enter Beijing."
Wang Yu was in his twenties at the time, and thought that this was contrary to human morality, and that it might cause the Wang family to incur the resentment of Emperor Ping in the future, so he secretly corresponded with the Zhongshan Wei family. And because he repeatedly persuaded the emperor not to listen, he conspired with his uncle and division to splash the blood of a black dog on the gate of the mansion of the Han Dynasty in Zaiheng in the middle of the night......"
What's that? Dog blood splashing the door? Fifth Lun was stunned.
Yangxiong said that it was because Wang Mang believed in ghosts and gods, and Wang Yu and others wanted to be frightened by turning strange, saying that it was a warning from heaven to force Wang Mang to give in.
It's a pity that they were too amateurish, and they were caught, Wang Yu's plan was exposed, Wang Mang was furious, and he didn't care about the father-son relationship, so Wang Yu committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine. And Wang Yu's wife lived a few more days because she was pregnant, but as soon as the child was born, she was also executed.
This story of leaving a grandson and killing his daughter-in-law is very cold, and Wang Mang's two sons are simply a madman who kills relatives!
In the face of power obstacles, Wang Mang has no Confucian benevolence at all, and he is ruthless.
Fifth Lun couldn't help but think of an article called "Eight Precepts" that he learned in Lang Agency.
It is said that after the Wang Yu incident, Wang Mang wrote eight articles to warn his descendants, which were implemented nationwide and were praised as equal to the "Book of Filial Piety".
Well, what a father and son.
At present, Wang Mang only has two sons-in-law left, and the third new Jiabi Wang An has a stupid disease, so the fourth master Wang Lin lies down and wins, and becomes the prince of the new dynasty.
"That Gong Chonggong Wang Zong, could it be Wang Yu's widow?"
"No, he is Wang Yu's fourth son."
It's the fourth master again.
It is strange to say that although Wang Mang slashed his eldest son, he was very fond of this grandson, Wang Zong.
Before the Chan Dynasty, Wang Zong inherited his title of "Marquis of the New Capital". Wang Mang's mother Gongxian Jun died, and the ministers knelt down and begged him not to abandon the world, so Wang Zong mourned on his behalf, and lived by the tomb for three years.
These two events gave Wang Zong great political qualifications, plus he was a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and it is rumored that the crown prince Wang Lin was not very popular with the emperor. For a time, two forces were formed within the royal family, secretly competing around the heir.
"Where there are ancestors, there must be grandchildren."
After listening to Yangxiong's narration, it became clear to the fifth Lun that Wang Zong responded to the request of the students and sent someone to help the fifth Lun, in addition to the urgency of the people, it may have its political purpose.
Fifth Lun speculated with the heart of a villain, maybe Wang Zong wanted to learn from Wang Mang's rise to prominence, invite fame and prestige, and finally win the heir, and Fifth Lun was simply a fame gift package sent to the door.
But the fifth Lun still had to go, Yangxiong only sent him out, took the disciple's hand, and whispered: "Boyu, I will pick two sentences from the "Explanation of Mockery" made back then to send you. ”
He looked at the fifth Lun and said meaningfully: "The guest disciple Zhu Danwu hub (gǔ), I don't know if I will fall into the Chiwu clan!" ”
……
Yang Xiong's "Solving the Mockery", which Wu Lun read a few days ago, is roughly about Yang Xiong's dialogue with others, explaining why he would rather focus on boring knowledge such as "Taixuan" rather than get involved in politics too deeply.
And the meaning of these two sentences is: "You keep saying that you want to paint my car hub with vermilion to make me rich, but you don't know that once you stumble, my clan will be stained red with blood!" ”
The warning is full of meaning, Wu Lun is very grateful to Yang Xiong for his concern, the political situation of the new dynasty in the late Han Dynasty is complicated, and standing on the wrong team is likely to lead to death and annihilation, so you must be careful.
"Well, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."
Wu Lun, who is now a "corporal", visited the gate of the Duke of the Kingdom to visit the wild pheasants to be carried with him, and he bought gifts in the city, and often took the main road to Shangguanli, which was located in the south of the city.
It's strange to say, although it is the first time in this life to come to Shangguanli, the surrounding scenery has some familiar feelings in a trance. Probably because Chang'an is one hundred and sixty Lu, and the pattern is generally similar.
And outside the inner door, Wu Lun also saw an acquaintance.
But it was the eighth correction who was also holding a dry pheasant and was talking to the inner prison door.
"Ji Zheng, why are you here too?"
The eighth turned around, and after seeing the fifth Lun, he brought a little self-satisfaction that the young man was valued for the first time in his life, and said with a smile: "Gong Chonggong summoned me to the banquet and said that Boyu was also there." ”
Thinking of the eighth Jiao, when the Tai student came to Shangguanli to ask Wang Zong for help that day, it was he who stated the experience, kowtowed and prayed, and the fifth Lun immediately understood.
"This Wang Zong actually mistook the Eighth Correction for the opinion leader of Taixue! I want to take both of us brothers in one feast! ”

PS: I recommend a new book "The Nurturer of the Old Gods".
The work of the Divine Wise Wolf, the gangster "Little White Wolf", is an old author.
