Chapter 1242: Whose Statement Is True
The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like falling leaves.
Before arriving in the north and north, in the process of blind exile, in that time of unknown years, Gao Ran always felt a sense of desolation like duckweed without roots. This feeling is not all for himself, but because he has seen from time to time the miserable life of the Han people after they became refugees.
Starting from the beginning of Heluo, he walked to Guanzhong step by step, thinking that he would be able to start life again near Chang'an, but he didn't expect that under the Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, he was greeted by a day when people were not ghosts or ghosts. A large number of homeless people sold their coolies and became slaves for a bite to eat, like animals, with their mouths open and their bodies open, whipped with wooden sticks, commanded, and the walking dead lived.
Even the livestock is not as good as the high, Gao Ran has seen, the extremely hungry homeless people, silently exchange their own children, and then exchange for other people's children, put them in the pot and kettle, and cook them......
Gao Ran was also hungry, dizzy with hunger, and his stomach hurt, but he didn't dare to look at such food, nor did he dare to eat it.
Gao Ran couldn't remember how long he had walked, but he remembered the feeling of the first bite of real food sliding from his mouth into his neck and into his abdomen, the feeling of happiness that filled his whole body.
He couldn't forget the thin old man standing in front of him, nor the temperature of the bowl of porridge he had taken from him, which warmed his hands, his body, and even his soul again.
Then he learned that this was the territory of General Zhengxi, and that old man was General Zhengxi's master......
"Great Sacrifice Wine!" Gao Ran looked at the bright red blood coming out of Cai Yong's chest and abdomen, pounced, trying to cover his somewhat thin body with his body, and shouted in a mournful voice, "They killed the Great Sacrifice Wine!" They killed the Great Sacrifice Wine! ”
Cai Yong is not a saint, he is also selfish, but in this aspect of knowledge inheritance, he is like a saint, selfless and generous.
Jiang Cheng stood among the students, and saw Cai Yong's not very tall figure, but when he fell to the sky, his heart suddenly emptied, as if he had a piece of something......
Jiang Cheng is not smart, at least not as smart as his parents say, this has been known since he started studying. He is very active, and it is not easy to calm down, and other children may only need to memorize the passage once or twice, but he may not be able to fully remember it if he has to memorize it three or five times, or even ten or twenty times.
Sometimes I am ridiculed by others because I remember the wrong allusions and use the wrong words, and the embarrassment and shame are like being naked in the ice and snow.
His family, his parents, all hope that a child can become a seed of reading, bring the scriptures and words back to the family, and let the knowledge be passed on in the Jiang family's bloodline, and Jiang regrets that he has become such a responsible person.
Reading is slow, and the family's expectations are high, which makes Jiang Cheng very painful.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng came to Bingbei and met Cai Yong.
The requirements of the school palace are very strict, but the atmosphere in the school palace is very good, as long as there are any problems with the students, whether it is an ordinary doctorate, or even the school palace sacrificial wine Ling Hu Shao, the big sacrificial wine Cai Yong, are the same, teach wholeheartedly, lest you speak clearly, and the teaching is not detailed.
As long as Jiang Cheng and other students make the slightest progress in their studies, Cai Yong and others will be happy about it.
Jiang Cheng still remembers that when he imitated Ban Gu's Liangdu Fu and wrote a Pingyang Fu, Cai Yong commented on a big "good" word, and also recited it on stage at the assembly in the main hall of the Xue Palace.
It turns out that I can't read, and I can write good articles!
That night, Jiang regretted being alone, in the peach forest outside the school palace, bowed down in the direction of his parents in the distance, and cried bitterly, releasing the pressure that had accumulated on him for many years......
It seems that from that time on, Jiang Cheng began to feel that the words on the scriptures were not so hateful, and those originally obscure words gradually became vivid.
However, Cai Yong, who was once so happy that he could be so happy because he wrote a good article that he danced with his hands, fell in front of Jiang Cheng.
"Master! Master! ”
Linghu Shao cried and shouted, tears flowing.
Linghu Shao hugged Cai Yong's body, knelt on the ground, kept crying at the sky, his shoulders collapsed, his body kept trembling, snot and tears flowed down his beard, like a three-year-old child who was extremely aggrieved, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and could only use crying and howling to express his inner pathos.
The sudden accident caused the soldiers on both sides to retreat in unison, leaving dozens of corpses lying on the mountain road.
"Huh?" Zheng Tai's face was dazed, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, unable to understand what was happening in front of him, "Cai Zhonglang? Cai Zhonglang is dead? Cai Zhonglang died before the battle? ”
He just came to get the widow of General Zhengxi, of course, he also thought about facing Cai Yong, but Zheng Tai definitely didn't think about killing Cai Yong, these are completely different things! Shouldn't these soldiers who marched to the west be killed, and then rushed to the palace, and then exposed the private affairs of Fei Qian and Cai Yan in front of everyone, and finally brought Cai Yan to the city in a grand manner, so that Pingyang City was defeated without attacking?
How did Cai Yong end up here?
Now what?
Zheng Tai's head was buzzing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
For a moment, Zheng Tai's heart crossed the idea of killing people, as long as all the people in the school palace were slaughtered, maybe no one would know about this matter......
But soon, Zheng Tai gave up this flawed idea, because even if he was willing to take the risk of offending the north and the east of the river, and even the Sili clan, and killed the students of the school palace, but his soldiers would not tell this matter? Stumped to kill these soldiers as well? Will Qiu Xing agree, will he support himself without care?
If the news leaks out for half a minute, under the gushing emotions of the crowd, will the Yang Guild choose the overall situation, or will it choose Zheng Tai himself?
In the face of the students of the school palace who were suddenly excited and rushed up, Zheng Tai did not dare to order the soldiers to kill them directly, so he could only temporarily withdraw the soldiers from the mountain road first, after all, if he killed a Cai Yong, there is still a chance to explain, if all the students of the school palace are slaughtered, I am afraid that Yang Biao will be the next person to fall to the ground in order to appease the resentment of the scholars......
………………………………
Hedong.
Not long after Commander Qiu Xing and the soldiers outside Anyi City in Hedong went north, several old men gathered together in the Wei Mansion in Anyi City.
Although it is only separated by a big river from Hongnong County, it is precisely because of this big river that many disasters have been spared, and the Qiang chaos from the west rarely comes to the east of the river, and even the Xianbei who goes south is often plundered in Changshan County, Xihe County, even if it comes to the east of the river, it will return north soon after, so the east of the river has always been relatively stable.
In the city of Anyi in Hedong County, the white walls and black eaves of the houses are high and low, and the best scenery is the area near the edge of the Fenshui.
There are many high-gate courtyards here, all of which are set up on the banks of the Fenshui River, and Wei's mansion naturally occupies the most beautiful stone bank and the most beautiful mountain forest on the bank of the Fenshui River.
At this moment, in the small building in the depths of the Wei Garden, the hanging silk curtain held the light outside, and also blocked the candlelight from the darkness inside the small building.
Old Lady Wei sat upright, raised Rada's eyelids, looked at the other four Haoshou old men on the left and right, sighed, and said slowly: "The sky is merciful, before the old decay enters the earth, I will finally see the changes in the north." ”
The old man on the left said calmly: "The current strategy has been decided many years ago, and we have never forgotten the humiliation of the past, but there are some details that still need to be carefully considered. ”
Old Lady Wei nodded and said: "The specific affairs are naturally handled by the children of the clan one by one, and our Wei clan has lived in Hedong for many years, and there will definitely be no problems." ”
"What the Great Elder said is true. There is another matter, the children of my family also have a little, or in Pingyang City, or in the palace to study, but now the incident happened suddenly...... Can you say a word to General Qiu and take care of one or two? ”
"At this moment, if you take care of the present first, how can you be entangled in the side details......" Old Lady Wei said indifferently, "Wei Duo gentleman, his country is invincible!" A certain Hedong Wei clan, how can he ever regret his life? What's more, General Qiu has no contact with us, even if he asks for something, what's the use? ”
Looking at the complicated expressions of those Haoshou old men, Old Lady Wei smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face squirmed a few times, and said, "You don't have to be sad, if the war goes well...... After we take control of Hedong, we can't say that in Pingyang City, not only will the children not be damaged, but there will also be some extra profits......"
"It's just...... Will this war be successful? ”
"Yang Gong folded the halberd before, naturally unwilling, the current army to the north, is also planning for a long time, although the expedition to the west is said to be brave, but arrogant and arrogant, now in Longyou, its account will inevitably be chaotic. Now that General Qiu is leading the army north, Pingyang will undoubtedly fall, as long as we take this opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to take the head of the king thief, we can regain the authority of Hedong, not to mention that the king thief has always been left and right, Yang Gong must have a grievance, even if he guesses what we did, what can I do? I can't say that I need to thank us for my worries. ”
"Speaking of which, I also have to thank the general who marched to the west...... If the thieves of the Wang family were not afraid of the expedition to the west, how could they be uncertain and evil to Yang Gong? At present, General Qiu is going north to supervise the war, and Yang Gong is also dissatisfied. ”
"Hehe, very much."
"If it weren't for the death of Zhengxi and General Qiu coming to lead the troops, the thief thought that he was at ease, how could he have transferred all the county soldiers to the north and had such a great opportunity with us? This is really a peck, a drink, the number of days. ”
Old lady Wei smiled and said happily: "Haha, after we are done, we will definitely build a stone tablet on the bank of the Fenshui River, and don't forget to add the name of Zhengxi, indicating that the thief died at the hands of Zhengxi......"
"Haha......"
The small building resounded with the joyful laughter of the old people.
Hedong Wei clan, there are many local Haoyou, their existence time, definitely longer than any county guard in office, with a variety of etiquette constraints within the clan, the Han Dynasty local scholar Haoyou has always maintained a strong cohesion internally, and because of the Han Dynasty's three or four hundred years of official recommendation system, resulting in the place is often run by these scholars like an iron plate, no matter how the court or the county guard try to divide and peel off, under normal circumstances, can only touch the outermost existence, and not being able to get to the heart of it.
It's like Wei Qian's every move before, although Old Lady Wei didn't show up, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know at all. Wei Qi is the heir to the head of the family that Wei is optimistic about, but unfortunately, Wei Qi was not able to successfully complete his trial.
Therefore, Wei Qi had to pay the due price for his own arrogance and carelessness, and the personnel of Wei Qi's first room were also impoverished and lost the wealth they had accumulated over the years.
Geckos cut off their tails and sea cucumbers vomit their intestines, although they look miserable, but they are actually the normal state of these creatures to save their lives, and so is Wei's.
Although Wei's retreat again and again, it seems that he has lost his family and lost his property and his personnel are embarrassed, but these are only on the surface, Hedong Wei's has infiltrated almost all aspects in so many years of operation, and how can it be completely defeated by paying some money?
Originally, there were still some soldiers directly under Wang Yi in Anyi City, but now they have followed Qiu Xing for most of the time, plus Wei also knows that over the years, Wang Yi did not dare to offend Yang Biao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was afraid of General Zhengxi, and then tried his best to maintain a balance between these two aspects, seemingly flattering left and right, but in fact, both sides offended ......,
And now, Wei thinks that the tail and intestines that Wang Yi gave him to eat before should now spit them all out.
The afternoon sun is shining and the autumn breeze is cool.
According to the usual practice, the Anyi Castle Guard convened the officials of the government to discuss the autumn harvest and arrange the delivery of grain and grass.
All officials were on call.
Before entering the formal topic, the captain of Anyi patrolled the city and stumbled recently, reporting that there was a suspected rout in the city and gathering to make trouble!
Wang Yi was shocked and ordered the city gate to be closed and the whole city to be searched!
The officials looked at each other.
Just when Wang Yi sent the last of his direct soldiers out to pacify the rebellion in the city, the backyard of the government suddenly caught fire, and it was suddenly chaotic!
Wei's private soldiers, who had been in ambush for a long time, rushed into the palace and closed the gate in the name of firefighting. Suddenly, a burst of angry questioning sounded in the Anyi Mansion, and immediately a miserable scream was heard!
The bluestone slab was stained red with blood, and slowly seeped out from under the copper-nailed palace gate......
With a "boom", the closed mansion was pushed back open, and then someone rushed out, stained with blood, and shouted: "The remnants of the expedition to the west actually disguised themselves into the mansion and assassinated the king!" ”
