Chapter 1258: The Battle of the Tang Dynasty
1258. The Battle of the Tang Dynasty
For the common ordinary weapons such as knives, guns and swords, the Tang Dynasty did not prohibit them, and there were only a few periods in history when weapons were really strictly prohibited, first Qin Shi Huang "collected the world's soldiers, gathered the Xianyang ......", and then Emperor Wen of Sui "collected the world's weapons, dared to have private makers, and sat on the ......", to the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, it was even worse, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered, "folk iron forks, hooks, drill forbearance, etc., are all forbidden", as long as offensive iron weapons are prohibited, and the common people will be arrested for turning rice with an iron fork. Finally, it's Meng Yuan.
The Yuan Dynasty was the dynasty with the most severe ban on weapons, and the punishment was also the most cruel, and there was no one, "Those who possess all the armor in their possession shall be put to death...... Ten pairs of bows and arrows will be ......executed", and even the gongs and drums, axes and axes used in the sacrifice are completely prohibited, and all are replaced by fake objects such as civil engineering paper and color, and it is also said that ten Han families share a kitchen knife, and they have to pay for registration at one time.
In the past dynasties, only the Han and Tang dynasties were the most tolerant of weapon control, only for large weapons such as armor, crossbows, spears, lances, and equipment, and the rest of the bows and arrows, horizontal knives, etc., there are also regulations, and no standard weapons can be used, so you can see gentlemen and rangers with swords and swords all over the street, and ordinary people, as long as the family is a little rich, will be equipped with knives and guns and other weapons for self-defense.
Therefore, for Mo Xiong's hurried explanation, Li Pojun also smiled and said straightly: "Lord Mo Zhuang protects the villagers, protects the territory and the people, and assumes the responsibility that a large household should have, which is really commendable."
Hearing Li Pojun's praise, Mo Xiong was also happy, and said in a daze: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Lintan Kong Zhengqing and others formed a militia to fight against the traitors, so that they can protect the territory and the people, and the grass people are really ashamed."
Seeing that Mo Xiong is indeed as Dai Qian said, he is heroic and has no pretenses, and Li Pojun is also happy.
Coming to sit in the lobby, Li Pojun asked directly: "I don't know how Kong Yishi is now?" ”
Mo Xiong was shocked in his heart, and he also regretted that he should not have the courage of Kong Zhengqing, and sold his property to form a militia group, but now that Kong Zhengqing is developed, he was injured and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit in person.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Brother Kong has woken up, his body is fine, and he has rested after drinking the decoction at noon."
"It's okay if it's okay", Li Pojun also nodded with relief, "Please ask Master Mo Zhuang to lead the way, I want to go and meet this righteous man."
Mo Xiong was jealous in his heart, and he also admired Kong Zhengqing's courage and luck, and immediately got up to lead the way.
In the guest room, Li Pojun saw the young man lying on the bed, with a white cloth wrapped in his chest, his face pale, and he was sleeping soundly at this time.
"Your Highness, do you want to wake up Brother Kong?" Mo Xiong asked tentatively.
Li Pojun shook his head, saw that there was really a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side, and also stepped forward, and wrote: "Kong Yishi saw the words like faces, and now he hears the feats of the righteous people, scatters his wealth, forms a militia group, resists the traitors, and protects the territory and the people...... Today, the righteous man's family is ruined and has no relatives, and he is alone...... You can come to the gods, or you can show your ambitions...... The prince of the Tang Dynasty broke the army and stayed".
Simply wrote a letter, Li Pojun also expressed his love for talent, such a righteous man, now that he has the opportunity to requisition, he naturally did not hesitate to requisition.
Such talents, if they go to business or do something else, it is too condescending, and they can only be used by the country on the blade.
Unable to resist Mo Xiong's warm invitation, and simply had a meal in Mojiazhuang, Li Pojun was about to return with Zhang Wenjun, Chen Kang and others.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly heard a commotion.
"What's going on? Your Highness is here, how can you make a noise? Hearing the noise and harshness in the courtyard, Mo Xiong's face darkened, his Mo family can have such a big business, and the family is also very strict, in the past, it was solemn and quiet, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, but it is so unorthodox.
"Owner, that's the shouting of the second master, it seems that the caravan has returned......", the housekeeper was about to go out to check, and when he heard the loud voice outside the door, he also stopped and said.
"Your Highness, don't blame, my second brother is the most formless, and he is a big grinning ...... on weekdays." Hearing the shouts in the courtyard outside the hall, Mo Xiong also said with a look of surprise.
"It's okay, it sounds like a strong man."
When Li Pojun's voice fell, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and before anyone came in, the sound came first.
"Big brother, big brother, I picked up a person from the Gobi and came back, it's us Han, you see ......." Saying that, the bearded man looked at Li Pojun and the others, "Huh? Big brother, who are they? ”
"The second brother is rude, this is my Royal Highness the Prince, don't hurry up and salute." Mo Xiong hurriedly scolded.
"Huh? What, big brother, you said he was the prince? The Emperor's son? The future emperor? ”
Second Master Mo's eyes widened and he said in astonishment.
Mo Xiong's face turned black to the bottom of the pot.
Long...... Finally...... Mo Lao Er believed it, and hurriedly said: "Mo Er met His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, we have admired you for a long time, I have a brother who came down from the Turkic battlefield, and I heard that your thousands of divine troops are fighting in the Turks, but they are making the Turkic beard and urine flow......."
"Your Highness smiled, this is my second brother Mo Zhuang, I haven't learned the sage's scriptures, I only know how to dance with guns and sticks, and I am a reckless man." Mo Xiong was busy with the introduction.
"Mo Zhuang, a good name, really strong, a strong man", Li Pojun also laughed. But he smiled secretly in his heart: Mo Er? It's useless for you to call other two, the two are still two......
This Mo Zhuang is a little similar to Cheng Lao Fairy, with a body shape, appearance and personality, and it is really refreshing to deal with this kind of person.
After greeting for a while, Li Pojun refused Mo Zhuang's repeated requests to stay, got up to leave, after all, he had to leave the camp and go to Tuyuhun tomorrow.
Walking to the door, he was about to leave, but suddenly, Zhang Wenjun on the side was startled and asked, "Is this...... Your Highness, he is an official of the Imperial Court". As he spoke, he pointed to a person on the ground beside him.
"It's ...... This is the jujube wood festival, Your Highness, this is the festival of the imperial court envoys." Zhang Wenqian stepped forward a few steps, touched the stick in the man's hand and exclaimed.
I saw that the man was unconscious, dressed in bearded clothes, tattered, his face was covered with mud, his face was pale, his lips were already chapped and white, his beard was unkempt, his hair was scattered, and his hands were tightly clutching the half of the stick on his chest, like a beggar.
Li Pojun was also shocked when he heard this, and when he stepped forward to take a look, he was also shocked, isn't this half-cut stick covered with dirt and scratches the festival of the imperial court!
This festival is made of wood or bamboo, carved with miniature carved patterns, the head is tied with the tail hair of animals such as yaks, it is a symbolic certificate and token given to the envoys to envoys to other countries and foreign countries, it represents the majesty of the country, it is sacred, so the envoys are all to take the festival as the root of life, and the travel is held in the hand, and it is enshrined in the hall when resting.
It's just that why did this half of the Tang Festival battle appear in the hands of this "beggar", and who is this person?
