Chapter 46: Riding a Donkey
"Although Boyu is a native of the township, he has the virtue of a lone gentleman when he was in elementary school."
The eighth correction used the loud volume that he had never shouted in his life, starting from Rang Pear, to tell the story of the fifth Lun to the more and more students who gathered.
"He is benevolent and filial and loving, his words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, and his promises must be sincere. He doesn't love money, he is kind and charitable, and he can go to the township party to be in distress, repair the righteous warehouse, Xingyi Xue, open a coal kiln, and reunite the clan. ”
Yimei is like this, and Wu Lun himself will blush when he hears it.
"What's even more rare is that Boyu has obviously done so many good deeds, but he is not able to do it and shame his virtues. He practiced fame and fame, and his reputation was given to the lieutenants, and the people were all called virtuous, and he was called 'the fifth lang of filial piety'! Even Maoling Yuan Juxian admired it and wanted to travel with him. ”
The reputation of the fifth Lun is not widely spread in Chang'an, but because of its special surname, I remember it as soon as I hear it, and there are really a few of the students who know it, so they talk about this person one after another.
"But such a benevolent man, and there are times of urgency and distress, he was imprisoned and tortured by the Wuwei Si Ming Mansion because of the chivalrous warrior who died generously! I don't know if it's life or death now! ”
The eighth correction told the story of "righteous breaking the strong bow", but he didn't understand the reason, and the fifth blessing didn't understand it to him, so he automatically made up the matter as: "Boyu admired the righteousness of Wan Yu and persuaded Ma Du Post to release him, and Ma Du You was deeply moved by Bo Yu and fled with Wan Yu." Bo Yu didn't want to go, he went back to Beijing and volunteered that he was willing to die for Erjun! ”
This big misunderstanding confirmed the fifth Lun crime, but it also made the students admire.
Chivalry and Confucianism have merged, and many students are Confucian students in Beijing, and they are chivalrous in the opposition, and what they pursue is to take Yu Rannuo. As for whether it is in accordance with the law or not, they don't care, they only look at two words: Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness!
The fifth Lun will occupy both words, which is enough for too many students to blow up.
The eighth Jiao said: "Throughout the ancient sages, Lu Shang encountered poverty in Jianjin, Guan Yiwu was shackled, and a hundred miles of rice were under the mouth of the cow. ”
"How can a virtuous man sit idly by and watch his misery? Zigong rushed to the state of Chu for help and relieved Confucius Chen Cai's predicament. As a brother and friend of Boyu, I also came to Taixue today, and I want to ask the same door and the same house to follow the example of the former dynasty Wang Xian to save Bao Sili, so that the princes of the court know Boyu's grievances! ”
"The eighth correction is here to kowtow and kowtow again!"
The eighth knelt down, bowed to everyone three times, and then got up, raised the yellow flag in his hand high, and thrust it heavily on the ground: "Those who want to save the fifth lang of filial piety will go down this flag!" ”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and did not dare to look again. It must be admitted that the reputation of the Fifth Lun is far inferior to that of Bao Xuan of the previous dynasty, and the appeal of the Eighth Jiao in Taixue is also far behind that of the predecessors.
Will anyone respond? The eighth was apprehensive, but when he thought that the fifth Lun had said that the Zhudi of Linqu Township should be reunited as a family, one is prosperous, and one is lost, so he made up his mind.
Even if no one responds, even if one person carries the yellow flag, I will go!
Although the students admired the deeds of the Fifth Lun and admired his benevolence and righteousness, they were a little hesitant when they heard that they were going to make trouble with the Eighth Correction to force the Five Wei Si to release him.
The noisy discussion continued for a while before someone pushed the crowd out and shouted, "I want to go!" ”
The eighth opened his eyes in surprise.
The person who came, surnamed Liu!
……
Liu Xiu was crowded in the crowd, and when he heard the highlights, he did praise it, but he was ridiculed by his brother Liu Bosheng at home as "cautious and fearful", not as resolute and generous as Liu Bosheng.
When he was in Nanyang, whenever he encountered an accident, Liu Bosheng often shouted angrily and drew his knife, but Liu Xiu had to think for a long time before making a decision, and when he arrived, it was only his brother's turn to deal with the aftermath.
That's why my brother sent him to Taixue, hoping to gain insight and practice courage.
But Liu Xiu is still the same, today's matter, if you want to be angry for irrelevant people, it is absolutely impossible.
But after seeing the person who took the lead, Liu Xiudun knew that something was wrong.
"Whoever sings badly is not good, but Liu Long, things are going to be bad!"
The person who responded to the eighth correction was Liu Xiu's fellow countryman, Liu Long from Anzhong County, Nanyang, whose name was Yuanbo.
Liu Long is only eighteen years old, but he has been in Taixue for a year, this person's life experience is not simple, he is a member of the Liu Chong family of the former Han An Marquis - that is the first Han clan member to raise a banner to resist after Wang Mang became a photographer.
In the first year (six years) of Ju Se, after the death of Emperor Ping of Han, after Wang Mang welcomed his son Liu Ying into the court, he only named him the crown prince, and he became the "Emperor Regent" and practiced the Zuo system. Only then did the people of the world react, Wang Mang is probably not Duke Zhou, but wants to practice Zen!
Liu Chong, the Marquis of An Zhong, who was located in Nanyang County, was furious when he heard the news, and he did not weigh his own strength, so he led his clan to raise the flag against Wang Mang. More than 100 people dared to attack Wancheng, but they didn't even touch the city gate, and they were exterminated by the thief Cao Peng.
In addition to the group that preemptively reported Liu Chong's rebellion to Wang Mang, those over the age of seven in the Marquis of Anzhong, both old and young, were exterminated. Liu Long, as a son of the clan, was pardoned because of his young age, and everyone secretly called him "An Zhong Orphan".
An Zhonghou has a lineage that has been rewarded for the righteous destruction of his relatives, and he has sealed a liehou and seven guannehou in one go. The family also had a little conscience, raised Liu Long to grow up, and also funded him to go to Taixue, so that Liu Long passed the family background as an adopted son.
Because they are both in Nanyang, and they are both descendants of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, Liu Xiu and Liu Long have a lot of friendships, and they have a lot of wooing on weekdays, he feels that this young man who has a deep blood feud with Xin Mang must be the help of his brother in the future.
But Liu Long is good at everything, but his temperament is the same as that of Liu Chong, the monkey who is anxious, no, he is a head bird again!
Liu Xiu knows Liu Long, this person's face is like a heavy jujube, he changes color when he is excited, and he is very red now.
And Liu Long has a lot of friends in Taixue, quite popular, he stood under the eighth Jiao Huang banner and raised his arms and shouted, there were sporadic responders, and dozens of people gathered after a while, especially in Nanyang, even Deng Yu couldn't hold back and stood up.
Liu Xiu gave Deng Yu a look and asked him to come back and not get involved in the matter, but Liu Long began to discuss with the eighth Jiao, there are not enough horses, how to go to Chang'an later.
Liu Long was not polite at all, patted his chest to ensure that the matter was on him, and then walked straight towards Liu Xiu, took a few steps to him, laughed and raised Liu Xiu's hand, and made a decision for him.
"We can ride Uncle Wen...... Donkey into the city! ”
……
In this way, Liu Xiu, who wanted to stay out of the matter, was pulled into the team by Liu Long, and as soon as he went, Zhu You, Qiang Hua and others followed.
Only the Zhuangziling in the house, only covered his ears and was irritated by the noise outside, turned over and continued to sleep, it was just sleeping in winter, and the group of donkeys outside the house was really noisy.
Liu Xiu only glanced at Zhuangziling enviously, and was coerced by everyone and came to the stable outside the Taixue Building.
Liu Xiu's black donkey was tied here, not just one, but dozens, with long ears erected, looking at the students who were also dressed in black and crowned with a confused expression.
The reason why so many donkeys are raised is that Liu Xiu found that the cost of raising horses here is amazing. Liu Xiu, who was very good at running the field industry when he was in his hometown, had an idea and partnered with his fellow shesheng and Nanyang Haoyou Hanzi to buy a donkey. It was taken care of by the servants brought by Liu Xiu from home, and then rented to the Tai students who entered the city to travel, making a profit of eighty-two opens, and Liu Xiu took the lion's share.
The money earned, Liu Xiu used to make friends, and also learned a reputation as "Oxfam Lover".
The students were one person and one donkey, and dozens of people went out of Taixue and went straight to Chang'an, and this scene was not spectacular. It's just that they are more impulsive than they are strategic, and the eighth correction is inexperienced, so they don't know where to go next, so they just care, or go directly to the Wuwei Siming Mansion to sit and block the door?
Zhu You interjected: "In the Wuwei Si Ming Mansion, all of you Si Ming are treacherous, who else is a good person?" What's the use of retributing grievances to them, in my opinion, it's better to go to the road and stop the car of the four assistants and three dukes. ”
Liu Long, the red-faced man of the anxious son, slapped the donkey's buttocks and said loudly: "Who knows when the fourth assistant and the third prince will pass by?" Otherwise, let's go directly to Shoucheng Outside, knock and shout, and then go to the bus Sima Gate to write to the emperor! ”
"Good!"
"Great goodness!"
"This will definitely attract the attention of the Son of Heaven and save the fifth Boyu from prison!"
Liu Xiu was riding behind, and when he heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fell off the donkey's back.
Liu Xiu, who has always been cautious and fearful, was forcibly pulled by this group of stunned youths, and it was really desperate to see them step into the abyss step by step.
Fang Cai Liu Xiu carefully thought about the feasibility of this matter, the success of Wang Xian in the previous dynasty was a special case, at that time, the entire Tai student staff was only 3,000, and one-third of the people were dispatched, and the momentum was huge, forcing the imperial court to withdraw Bao Xuan's capital crime, and he did not dare to retaliate against the Tai students, and the law did not blame the public.
But today they only gathered a few dozen people, plus the black donkeys under the ass are no more than a hundred, and before they reach the Quexia, they may be arrested by Fenwu (Zhijinwu), let alone close to the heavily guarded bus Sima Gate.
What's even worse is that among the leaders, there is also Liu Long, the "son of the people", who is rebellious and rebellious, because he is afraid that the court will not find out his identity. Once exposed, this matter may be linked by people with intentions and "gathering people to rebel and vainly trying to restore the Han Dynasty", and they can enter the Wuwei Siming Mansion to be accompanied by the Fifth Lun.
Looking at this group of classmates who are looking forward to doing something big and becoming famous in the world, Liu Xiu is anxious. Fortunately, he has always been benevolent and wise, with many powers and strategies, and secretly cares about the situation in the new dynasty.
Then he slapped the donkey and stopped them in their way.
"Uncle Wen, what are you doing? Do you regret not wanting to go? Liu Long's face was full of indignation.
"No, I just want to ask you to listen to me!"
Liu Xiu is smart and doesn't say anything to stop him, which will make him seen as cowardly by everyone and backfire. Anyway, since they are all coerced in, just help them, he can only guide the students who are about to get out of control in the direction of a greater success rate.
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Most of the students who went to righteousness today are from the former team county, and the fief of the emperor's grandson and Gongchonggong Wang Zong is also in the former team Xindu County. I have heard that he was very friendly to the former soldiers, and was known for his respect and respect, and was quite respected by the Son of Heaven. ”
"Gongchong Mansion is in the middle of Shangguanli in the south of the city, is it not closer to the east and north of the Shoucheng Room? If he can say that he can come forward, with his status and prestige, he will definitely be able to rescue the fifth Boyu! ”
……
Before the Tai students and donkeys arrived, Yang Xiong also came to Shangguanli in the south of the city and waited for a long time at the inner gate.
There are one hundred and sixty Lu in Beijing, and the monk crown in the north is the most noble. Shangguanli is located between the Shoucheng Room and the Changle Room, at the foot of the imperial city, the north is Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and the south is against the city wall, and the location is made in heaven.
In the past, most of the people who lived here were the princes of the clan or the important ministers of the imperial court, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang had settled here. Ten years ago, the world moved to Dingding, and most of the people surnamed Liu were influenced by the Son of Heaven and "took the initiative" to move away, and it was changed to the territory of the surname Wang.
The only remaining family surnamed Liu in the middle of the house is the mansion of Liu Xin, the national teacher.
"Let Ziyun Weng wait for a long time!"
After waiting for a while, just when Yangxiong thought that he would not be allowed to enter, the National Teacher's Mansion finally came. But it was the next doctor, Liu Gong, the uncle Liu who debated with Huan Tan at the official school in Changling, and asked "whether the spirit can change bodies and continue to live".
Liu Gong and Huan Tan are kind to each other, and they also respect Yangxiong, but his uncle Liu Xin wants to let Yangziyun wait more, and these old men have such a temper.
He helped Yangxiong to walk inside, where the road is wide, the environment is elegant, and the courtyard of the family is high, which is by no means comparable to the remote Xuanmingli.
"When was the last time Ziyunweng came?"
Liu Gong's words evoked Yangxiong's memories, the last time he came? It was probably eight or nine years ago, when he had a good relationship with Liu Xin, and even taught Liu Xin's son to learn the odd characters of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
But what impressed Yang Xiong even more was that it was the first time he came to Shangguanli, and he also went to Liu Xin's house, when Liu Xin's father, Liu Xiang, a university scholar, was still alive.
Liu Xiangzeng has been studying in Tianlu Pavilion for 20 years, and has a large collection of books at home, and Yangxiong is often brought by Liu Xin to borrow books to read. At that time, he never imagined that he would later inherit Liu Xiang's work and continue to complete his unfinished books on Tianlu Pavilion. Liu Xin, on the other hand, was not satisfied with pure academics, and became more interested in restructuring, and the two best friends gradually drifted apart.
The National Teacher's Mansion has not changed much from back then, and Yangxiong can go around in a big circle without Liu Gong's guidance, but it's a pity that things are not people.
When they reached the backyard, they saw an old man dressed in plain white and wearing a sorcerer's crown sitting cross-legged under a withered peach tree. He had gray hair, a black jade hairpin, and was drawing circles on the ground with a wooden stick, frowning and thinking, as if he had not noticed the footsteps behind him and the arrival of Yangxiong.
Liu Gong knew that the two old men had decades of grievances and hatreds, so he retreated with interest, and Yang Xiong stood on crutches for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he simply leaned on the stone next to him and sat down.
"The host didn't speak, can the guests sit casually?" Liu Xin's hand in the circle stopped, and said quietly.
In the usual way, Yang Xiong would definitely have to sneer at him, but today he came to beg for help, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a dry smile: "Zijun, don't come to harm, I haven't seen him for many years, and my hair is not completely ......white."
"Doctor Yang, you don't have a long memory, it's a typo again."
Liu Xin, who was in a white robe, turned his head and said to Yang Xiong in a gray robe, contrary to Yang Ziyun, whose hair was scattered and unkempt, every strand of his hair and beard was neatly combed, which was quite immortal.
"I changed my name and character more than 20 years ago."
"Now it's Liu Xiu, Uncle Liu Ying!"
……
At the same time, Kong Ren, who had finished reviewing a large number of accumulated cases in the Wuwei Siming Mansion, stretched his waist and was about to take a rest, but Guo Hong, the official of the Peng, hurriedly came to report.
"Kong Siming, there are some Lang officials outside the door, Wai Lang, who claim to be the fifth Lun!"
"It's finally here."
Kong Ren smiled contemptuously, but it was just a group of foreigners who had no position, no power and no power, and they didn't know how many years it would take for the local government to have vacancies. He expected that Wu Lun's friend would also have this ability, and asked casually: "How many foreign men who think that their careers are too smooth ask for the life of Wu Lun?" ”
Guo Hong's throat moved, and he said cautiously: "Hundreds of people! ”
……
PS: (Liu Xiu) is short of funds, so he co-pays with his fellow housemate Han Zi to buy a donkey, and makes the servant (rent) to give public expense. - "Dongguan Hanji"
