Chapter 218: The style of the late Tang Dynasty
Looking at the world, I think Qiantang is prosperous. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info climb high and look far away, and can't help but sigh, such as today's scenic spot is Wu Yue.
Although the Tang Dynasty is no longer in the Tang Dynasty, this generation has never seen the style of the year at all, but the records inherited by the past dynasties all depict the year in rich and colorful colors.
Of course, there are countless people who believe that there are immortals in this world, and they must have seen the scenery of the Tang Dynasty when they lived in seclusion in the mountains and walked in the world. What's more, people who are not good in the world occasionally see these masters, and even their miracles, which will naturally be rendered in the world. And all these people who have heard of it, whether they have seen it with their own eyes or not, will not pass it on to the world.
The contemporary world is in turmoil for decades! Since the Later Liang replaced the Tang Dynasty, the world has successively experienced the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty. Now the Central Plains is controlled by the Zhou State, and it is faintly the head of all the countries in the world. However, in just a few decades, the Central Plains has been in constant turmoil and disputes. Where can the common people see the prosperity?
On the contrary, since the Later Liang, at the same time, the local separatist forces that have risen in various parts of the Central Plains have been more or less inherited in many places because they are far away from the disputes in the Central Plains, and many of them have inherited the style of the Tang Dynasty. Especially because of the careful management of their respective separatist forces, coupled with decades of basic stability, these places are tantamount to paradise on earth compared to the Central Plains.
Although these places are far from those of the Tang Dynasty, in today's world, if you want to say that the people are stable and comfortable, they must be the first to recommend Wu Yueguo.
Originally, when various places were divided, the earliest one to rise was the Shu Kingdom built by the king of Shu; Ma Yin in Chu Dixiang; Yang Wu in the Jiangnan area; and the Kingdom of Wu Yue, occupied by Qian Miao, the king of Qian. However, with the defeat of the descendants of the Wang family in the southwest, after the death of Ma Yin, the horses fought for the Chu land where the children of the trough attacked each other, and Yang Wu, who was replaced by Li Tang, almost all had a lot of battles, and the people naturally complained bitterly.
Therefore, in the end, the biggest influence was Wu Yue, who has always been controlled by the Qian family.
The founder of Wu Yueguo, Qian Hao, the word Jumei, the nickname Po Liu, is said to be a native of Lin'an. For people in this era, the Sea Dragon King Qian Hao can be said to be a well-known figure.
At the beginning of Lingnan, the young master of Lingnan, Liu Yan, once boasted to the world, and there were three dragons in the world: the bearded one-eyed dragon Li Keyong, the Jiangnan Sea Dragon King Qian Yan, and the Lingnan Dragon King Liu Yan.
Although Liu Yan's words were a little arrogant at the time, he not only really became the lord of Lingnan, but also became the first master of the world-famous Qiyi list.
However, as far as the situation at that time is concerned, because Lingnan Liu Yan is outside Wuling, the Central Plains regime cannot govern it. Coupled with the fact that the Liu family has become a climate in Lingnan, Liu Yan naturally wants to be the emperor alone. The nearby dispute between Yang Wu Buxiao and Lingnan, Ma Yin, the overlord of Ma Chu, was helpless, so Lingnan was a little dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the Central Plains, and Liu Yan naturally intended to elevate his identity, wanting to be the same as the Li family and the Wu Yue Qian family in the Later Tang Dynasty.
Ma Yin thought that Lingnan had become his backyard because Liu Yan married his daughter, and did not take action against Lingnan again. As for Qian Hao, who is also a celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Yan wants to make friends from afar and attack closely, because there are still Yang Wu's children in the middle, so he boldly speaks out and becomes famous all over the world. Although Liu Yan was later laughed at, because Liu Yan actually had a nickname called Zhen Jiao Mirage, some people secretly laughed at him as the real son of heaven and the fake dragon king.
Not to mention Liu Yan's self-talking praise, in fact, he has been sitting for at least a few decades to divide the world, and this good story has been circulating. Let's talk about the other protagonist in this good story, that is Wu Yueguo's son Qian Hao. The legends left in the world by this Son of Heaven who stopped the tide by arrows have been somewhat deified so far.
It is said that when King Qian was young, he was no different from ordinary teenagers. And forced to make a living, he once followed some villagers to steal and sell illicit salt.
Not to mention that in the gradually turbulent years at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the secession of feudal towns in various places gradually became the climate, that is, at any time, the salt industry, as the main resource of the imperial court, has always been forbidden to sell privately. Those who sell illicit salt are arrested and imprisoned; In the worst case, they will be executed on the spot. At that time, he dared to follow and sell illicit salt for a living, presumably King Qian's courage when he was young was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Now King Qian is no longer there, but the descendants of the Qian family still control the world of Wu Yue, and since the three generations of succession, there have been five Wu Yue kings. Just looking at the Jingsheng of Wu Yue now, the people estimate that the Qian family will prosper for generations. Every family regards King Qian as a living Buddha, just like a saint who came into the world. Therefore, all kinds of legends about King Qian in the countryside are also praised and repeatedly banned.
But what everyone agrees with is that some people say that he has often played games with his friends since he was a child, and he likes to go to the vicinity of Shijing Town, where he lives, to watch the soldiers of the town guard run horses and shoot arrows. Then he will organize his friends and train in formation like soldiers. At that time, after seeing it, some people in the township praised the villagers: "This is really a noble person!" ”
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, King Qian once again really practiced bows, horses and spears, and was even familiar with the "Art of War", and after the crown year, he went to Shijing Town to join the army. Of course, when he really got ahead, he took advantage of the Yellow Nest Rebellion to cause chaos in the world. At that time, he followed the town general Dong Chang to make repeated military exploits, Guangqi three years (887), Dong Chang was promoted to Yuezhou (Shaoxing) observation envoy because of his merits, from Qiantang (Hangzhou) to the town of eastern Zhejiang, the imperial court was promoted to King Qian as the Hangzhou Assassin History.
Since then, King Qian has been on his own, and it has gradually become a climate.
Later, whether it was to lead troops to eliminate Xue Lang and Liu Hanhong, or to encircle and suppress the madman who claimed to be the emperor by the order of the imperial court, it was also in the process of his former lord Dong Chang, the imperial court allowed him to develop alone, so that after King Qian exterminated Dong Chang, he really occupied the land of Liangzhejiang.
Subsequently, the imperial court could not look south because of political affairs, and even took King Qian as the envoy of the Zhenhai and Zhendong armies, and pardoned him as a prince with a surname outside the court. Since then, King Qian has soared into the sky, from the princes of local feudal towns to the prince with a foreign surname. From the original King of Yue to the later King of Wu. The king of Wuyue, who was really known to later generations, was in the hands of Zhu Wen Houliang, who stood up on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.
Some people criticize King Qian, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, for not contributing to the country's purge, but being loyal to the usurper Hou Liang of the Tang Dynasty. However, only a few people understand that Wu Yueguo has always been narrow and has few soldiers, and if he is really completely independent, or does not think about himself, he is afraid that he will soon perish. Because at that time, Wu Yue Kingdom had Yang Xingmi, who had five generations of strong troops, on the left, and Xiao Min on the right, who was unwilling to be lonely and guarded behind the tail.
At that time, it was attached to the Central Plains Imperial Court, and after receiving some recognition from the imperial court, it could not only avoid being easily surrounded and suppressed by the surrounding forces, but also exempt the people from the suffering of the swords and soldiers in the territory, and an important point was independence.
Because after King Qian declared himself a vassal to the Central Plains, he also made himself a local ****** in the territory. Regardless of King Qian's choice at that time, many people in the territory were peaceful because of this. The eyes of the people are bright, and it is inevitable that everyone will be grateful for the merits of King Qian.
Since King Qian's inauguration for decades, the people in the territory have continued for several generations. Everyone doesn't know that there is a Central Plains court, but they only know that the world belongs to the descendants of Prince Qian. And from King Qian to King Wenmu Qian Yuanguan, it was also the decade of the Central Plains from the Later Tang Dynasty to the Later Jin Dynasty. The Central Plains regime has changed repeatedly, and Wu Yueqian's family has not stopped.
Especially in the third generation of King Qian, although the descendants of the throne have not been on the throne for a long time, the victory is a smooth transition. Even if there are old ministers and three dynasties, Hu Jinsi bullied the lord, but because of the prestige of King Qian and the reputation of King Qian in the territory of Liangzhejiang, these old people who bully the lord with ministers do not dare to replace the descendants of the Qian family by themselves.
Now from King Qian's son King Wenmu after the throne, is King Wenmu's sixth son Qian Hongzuo, although the throne is only a few years, but also smoothly alternated to the seventh son Qian Hongliang, which is no less than the change of power in previous dynasties. These two masters are also quite ambitious people, but Qian Hongzuo died young, but this Qian Hongzuo was ousted by the old minister.
The dangers of the Emperor's House have never been for ordinary people to participate in. Now that Qian Hongjun is under house arrest, the throne of Wu Yueguo has transitioned to the hands of Qian Hongyu, the ninth son of King Wenmu, and now it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye!
Luo shirt leaf embroidery is heavy,
A clump of golden phoenixes and silver geese.
There are two directions at every time you dance,
Long live the word Taiping!
Although this poem does not originally describe Wu Yueguo, it can be regarded as an excellent statement of the prosperity of the Five Dynasties.
As far as the eye can see today, there are constant wars everywhere, and people are displaced and uprooted from their homes. There are very few feudal towns that can really live a stable life for more than ten years.
It is said that because of this turmoil, many conscious families have moved into barren lands or into places like Lingnan, hoping to seek the survival and stability of their families. As for coastal areas like Jiangnan, some families even moved overseas, although many people were swallowed by the sea, at least it was better than being slaughtered by feudal towns.
Nowadays, only on the streets in the territory of Wu Yueguo, you can see the nature on the faces of the people coming and going, which is an extremely rare phenomenon. The people here live and work in peace, their smiles are from the heart, and of course, the patterns of their clothes are extremely delicate and beautiful. Not to mention the homes of ordinary people, but those well-off families who have lived in Wu Yue Country for several generations, which people do not live comfortably.
The Luo shirts and casual clothes they wore were either some flower and bird-based clothing patterns, or some auspicious trim patterns. The flower costumes on the body are embroidered on the silk yarn soft clothing, which is really full of flowers and competing for glory. Anyone who has been to Liangzhejiang, especially near Hangzhou, thinks that Wu Yueguo is a paradise.
Bang!
A wake-up wood was slapped on the stage, allowing everyone to come back to their senses from the story.
What I just said, I'm afraid that the people in the land of Liangzhejiang are already ripe. But the storyteller sitting on a chair in the middle of the restaurant has a narrow rectangular table in front of him, equipped with only a pot of dragon wells. He sat there foaming at the mouth, shaking his head and talking with relish.
This storyteller is not very old, and he has two beautiful mustaches, which makes people feel a little more dignified. His eyes swept over the bustling diners in the restaurant, everyone looked at them intently, and a subtle smile flashed in the storyteller's eyes. He coughed lightly, indicating that he paused slightly, picked up the tea bowl and took a small sip. Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, added hot tea to her, and what he heard him talk about was a biography of King Qian of Wu Yue Kingdom.
Everyone preaches the story of King Qian, which is not uncommon in the territory of Wu Yueguo, even ordinary people in the countryside will know a paragraph or two. Now the court and the descendants of the Qian family do not interfere with the people, and the narration of the Qian family and the king of Qian. Because almost everyone knows about it, as long as it is not maliciously attacked and slandered, no one will care about it. On the contrary, everyone listened to the story of King Qian's hometown over and over again, but the more they listened, the more interesting they became.
This is under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Mansion, the hometown of King Qian, a small town called Xikou.
Because of its proximity to the famous East and West Tianmu Mountain, and because it is the hometown of King Qian, a small market town in Xikou is not smaller than the general county government.
The place where the storyteller is located is the famous Longgui Restaurant in Xikou Town, and now it is the peak period of lunch dining, and the restaurant is naturally crowded with people.
Although it is only a two-story layout, it can be seen that there are many diners. Although the township is just a simple meal, legend has it that King Qian ate here back then, so the business here can be said to be very hot. What's more, the Jiangnan area has always been rich in ingredients, and the two Zhejiang areas have been peaceful for a long time, so everyone is still much more exquisite and exquisite than the general feudal towns in terms of food.
This storyteller with a mustache, although he is not a native of Xikou, speaks a western Zhejiang dialect that has some taste. Over the years, many people have moved from Zhejiang to the two provinces, and everyone is still very welcome to this storyteller with an accent and an official accent. Seeing that although he is wearing cloth clothes and shoes, although he is not a well-off family, he is also eloquent and eloquent in his conversation, and the adults must think that he is also a person from Liangzhe.
However, he told the story in this Longgui Restaurant, although the time was not too long, but because the story he said was logically reasonable, it was a little more interesting than others, and he added some insights from the world, which was much more interesting than the book recorded and the old pedant. It has been more than half a year since the beginning, and everyone likes to listen to his stories, and they all know that his name is Mr. Xie.
And after this person claimed to be Xie Lingyun, this was extremely surprising, although it was a little impossible to investigate, of course, no one really checked the authenticity of this matter. The stable world is more tolerant, no matter how Mr. Xie performs, but at least for his versatile performance, many people like him now.
On this day, I heard him talk about King Qian for a while, and many of the old customers here were already a little tired, but everyone couldn't say it openly. After all, now Liangzhejiang is the world of the descendants of Prince Qian, and it is also a peaceful day in the world, who wants to offend the court in idleness. However, looking at their disapproving looks, they were naturally a little impatient.
However, a few foreign guests with an accent from eastern Zhejiang listened to it with relish while eating, and asked Mr. Xie from time to time, which was nothing more than the gossip of King Qian back then. Because of the harmony of these people, the atmosphere is naturally very good, and some old guests who have heard it in the past will respond from time to time. Those impatient diners didn't dare to show off, but when they saw Mr. Xie stop, they breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhang Fuquan, the owner of the restaurant, is said to be a native of this Xikou, and his ancestors have made a living from this restaurant for four generations. Today, when I saw a crowd of diners, some old customers were accompanying me on the second floor, and when I heard the first floor asking for peace, I also came down to see the scene. Although he is only thirty years old, he is now well-known in Xikou Town. Because opening a restaurant to make money is only one of the points, but the reputation is not bad.
Slowly swept through the crowd in the field, and the regular customers nodded when they saw the natural chin of the head, and Zhang Fuquan had a smile on his face, because these were his own food and clothing. In the end, his eyes fell on Mr. Xie, and Zhang Fuquan was even more relieved in his eyes, feeling that he had a good vision at the beginning. Mr. Xie, the storyteller, was able to gain a foothold in the restaurant at the beginning, but it was because Zhang Fuquan did not interfere at the beginning.
He has always known that there are many strange people in the world, and he is no more than a worldly merchant at best. It has always been said that chivalry is mostly dog slaughtering, Zhang Fuquan deeply understands this, so when Mr. Xie wanted to tell in the restaurant, he did not refuse Mr. Xie's request. Now it seems that this choice is correct, not only is the business full every day, but Longgui Restaurant has great signs of becoming the first in Xikou.
The juniors in the restaurant also admired this storyteller Mr. Xie very much. Because of Mr. Xie's wonderful storytelling, not only has he attracted a lot of customers, but some diners often give tips when they are happy. Not only Mr. Xie's, but sometimes some children naturally want to be wet. Even if some children don't get a reward, Mr. Xie will be generous and take out some of what he gets to share with everyone.
Now the children like Mr. Xie more than this boss, and Zhang Fuquan also knows this, so he usually attaches more importance to this Mr. Xie. Because this kind of person who does not care about money at all can be done by ordinary people and pedants. Even if it is not a strange person on the rivers and lakes, it must be a free and easy character in the game world.
The Tang people were uninhibited, and this atmosphere was almost continued in the five dynasties. The prosperity of the two Zhejiang provinces is naturally better than other places. Although there are many female dependents of various families in this restaurant, Zhang Fuquan seems to have a number. But now Zhang Fuquan has seen a strange phenomenon, that is, because of the arrival of Mr. Xie, not only has the number of diners increased a lot, but also the number of female dependents of each family has increased a lot.
At the peak of normal times, people often reserve seats in advance, and now it has become a beautiful talk in Xikou Town. Zhang Fuquan was naturally proud, but he didn't get carried away, because he knew deeply that the chef was still the same chef, the second child was still those little two, and the boss was still himself. The only difference is that the business is much better than before, and the reason for this is needless to say, it is also due to Mr. Xie.
Zhang Fuquan looked around, and there were indeed many female dependents today, and a few of them were still wearing veils. Although Zhang Fuquan was a little surprised, he didn't care too much. Because a few days ago, it is said that the eldest lady of the Lin family in Zhendong came to the restaurant, and that is the descendant of the imperial court's own family. (To be continued.) )
