Volume 4: Wolf Smoke in Shu Chapter 1: The righteous brothers and sisters reunited in this time, and met the Confucian scholar Xu Mad to discuss politics
Now she seems to have changed as if she has changed, the agility between her eyebrows is still there, but there is also a little more tiredness, seeing Yun Xingyan coming, Chu Xiangling suddenly showed joy, greeted her and said: "Big brother, little sister has been waiting here for a long time......
Rao is Yun Xingyan was so bored in his heart, but when he saw Chu Xiangling, he also showed a hint of joy, and when he saw Yun Guimeng sleeping peacefully in her arms, Yun Xingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is going on?" Why is Guimeng here? Why has Drunken Yuxuan become a desolate place, and what disease is my mother suffering from?! ”
"This ......"
Yun Tianqing was a little unable to answer so many questions, so he said, "Let's go in and talk......
So the three of them entered the mansion, Yun Tianqing knew that Emperor Wu was very taboo to mention the matter of Concubine Lian, so he just said: "I really don't know this, and my father is worried that Niangniang will be sick and will not have time to take care of his nephew, so he handed him over to me......"
"Tianqing, you and my brother, you still want to hide it from me?!"
Seeing that Yun Xingyan was a little angry, Yun Tianqing didn't know what to say, at this time, Chu Xiangling played a round and said: "Big brother, the Twelve Princes are also acting on orders, let's go and find out the specific situation in person, will it be over?" You've been running around for so long, so you're probably tired, and the rest of the things will be talked about tomorrow......"
Yun Tianqing glanced at Chu Xiangling with a little gratitude, and then said: "Yes, Brother Huang, Tianqing doesn't dare to hide anything from you, it's not too early, why don't you rest in the Younger Brother's Mansion."
"No need!"
After Yun Xingyan said that, he stood up and said, "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then I'll go find it myself, Chu Xiangling, if you still recognize me as a big brother, go out with me!" With that, Yun Xingyan walked out without looking back......
Yun Tianqing looked at Chu Xiangling at this time and said, "Miss Chu, please persuade the imperial brother, some things are taboo and must not be mentioned, otherwise the imperial brother will inevitably cause a big disaster!" If you anger your father with this, I'm afraid that all the things I have worked hard before will turn into nothingness! ”
"Got it!"
Chu Xiangling said that he hugged the child and followed Yun Xingyan's pace out of the Hou Mansion, as it was dusk today, the two of them temporarily returned to Chu Xiangling's inn, but something interesting happened, Xu Mad, this guy didn't know why he wandered here, he was a little drunk, and he actually picked up a pen on the wall to write a poem, and just halfway through writing, he saw a young man dressed as a Confucian student grab his hand and said coldly: "This is a restaurant, if you want to practice calligraphy, please go to him!" ”
At this time, Xu Yan said with some displeasure: "Cut, I don't want to do it!" Who are you to stand in my way!? ”
"Fanatic!"
Confucius coldly spit out two words, then waved his hand, and suddenly walked out of the corner a man dressed as a chivalrous man, and Confucius commanded: "This gentleman is drunk, throw him out!" ”
"Yes!"
The chivalrous man replied lightly and was about to pick up Xu Mad and push it out, but Xu Mad was a little unhappy, and scolded: "Do you have such a business?" It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't give money!? Wouldn't you just mention a poem, if you put aside Lao Tzu still disdainful to write it! I see that you are also a scholar, but you do such a rude thing, it is really immoral, I am ashamed to coexist with you! ”
Chu Xiangling, who was watching at the door of the inn at this time, suddenly became a little unhappy, and said, "This is really a madman, I'm going to teach him a lesson!" At this time, there were more and more onlookers, but Yun Xingyan took Chu Xiangling's hand and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look first......
I saw that the Confucian student was scolded by Xu Mad like this, and he was also angry, and immediately said: "Fanatic, don't you want to take advantage of your tongue, based on your behavior at this time, you are embarrassed to claim to be a scholar?" The sage books are all read in the dog's belly?! ”
"Cut, sure enough, there is no shortage of mediocre talents in this world!"
Xu Mad glanced at Confucian and said, "Pifu, since you are a scholar and I am also a scholar, how about we compete in the way of a scholar?!" ”
"Oh? How to compete?! ”
Confucian Sheng was also interested at this time, he wanted to see what kind of medicine this madman was selling in the gourd, only to see Xu Mad straighten his collar and say: "In the past, when the emperor Gu Yuqing left Beijing, he drew three strategies for His Majesty today, and even His Majesty admitted that without the emperor, there would be no today's Dayun prosperous world, and today you and I will talk about the current situation of Dayun about the general trend of the world?" ”
"What's so hard about that!"
Confucian Zhengse said: "I Dayun founded the country for four hundred years, and what was implemented is a benevolent word, the ancient clouds, the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, and I Dayun attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, not only abolished the burial of the living, but also has a certain compensation for conscription, which is simply a move from ancient times to the present!" ”
"Ancient and modern?"
Xu snorted coldly and said, "Mr. must have forgotten the Jiangnan officialdom corruption case three years ago, right?" Your Majesty's intention to reshape the academic controversy of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes is not to let you, a husband, use some marginal words here to whitewash the peace! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word, and I ask you to listen quietly! In the past, when Emperor Xuan was in decline, the eunuchs caused trouble, the country was in turmoil, and the Quartet was disturbed. Now the seven feudal kings stand side by side, the local tyrants annex the land of the people, the gentry do not pay for food, and the Yellow River floods every year, this is the ancient and modern in the eyes of Mr.? ”
Confucian now had to look at this madman squarely, thinking: This guy is not good-looking, but he didn't expect to have such knowledge! So he asked: "Everyone knows that the flooding of the Yellow River is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, so why should you find faults?" ”
Xu Mad: "What about the Shu rebellion?" If it weren't for the local tyrants oppressing the people to pay taxes and grain, how would the officials be forced and the people rebelled? Those local tyrants and inferior gentry shouted to be loyal to the country while relying on their own identity to continue to annex the land, so that how many peasants have no land to plant, how many people are in exile, from the beginning of the family looking forward to having land to plant to now the so-called land tax has become a burden on the people, not to mention anything else, let's just say how many people in this big Luoyang city are natives? It's not that you can't live in your hometown anymore and come here to beg for a living, are you right? ”
Xu Mad said and looked at the onlookers, and at this time the big guys said: "That's it, my family was originally because I couldn't pay taxes, so I bought it to the local rich at a price of 10 taels of silver per mu, and it happened that year that I was in a hurry to send a big water, and it was worth at least 20 taels to put it in my family's land at the usual time!" ”
"Indeed, why don't the gentry pay for food?"
For a while, everyone was infected by Xu Yan's words, and at this time, Chu Xiangling finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and shouted: "It's just a demon to confuse the people, who dare to incite the people here to say such rebellious words?!" ”
At this time, Xu Mad saw Chu Xiangling's angry appearance and began to look at her carefully, first looking at the ready-to-wear fabric of the baby in her arms, and then skimming to the piece of Yunzi jade pendant hanging around her neck, Xu Mad suddenly knew in his heart, so he said: "What do you say, girl?" Why are you lying to confuse the public? In all fairness, hasn't the girl been harmed by this kind of national policy that seems to be full of flowers but is actually ruined? ”
Xu Mad is worthy of being a master of brainwashing, Chu Xiangling has indeed suffered such a harm, her family was originally a big family in Jinling City, just because the imperial court wanted to build an official office, so their manor was demolished, although they gave a seemingly rich amount of silver, but if it wasn't for the imperial court to demolish it, then her father would not have brought the whole family to Luoyang to beg for a living, let alone lose the few pieces of silver he got when he split the family because of gambling!
Xu Mad saw that Chu Xiangling was silent, so he said: "It's just a pity, everyone in the world is drunk and I wake up alone, why did the mediocre talents in this world be met by me?" Ay! People of insight in my generation can only follow the example of Li Taibai and drink for fun in the world......"
Xu Mad said and left, at this time, the Confucian scholar who was debating with him hurriedly stopped his way and said: "This gentleman, as the saying goes, the literary and martial arts you learned are sold to the emperor's family, and you are also a person who has no ambitions, if you don't give up, I am willing to introduce you to someone!" ”
