Chapter 105: Performance Artist
Out of the Yang family, Fang Zhongyong was still unsatisfied, so he wanted to go to Hu Yanjia, another military general who was famous in later generations but not prominent in this dynasty.
If you have friends who are familiar with traditional culture, most of them have heard Liu Lanfang's commentary "Hu Jia Jiang". The commentary describes the rise and fall of another military general family in addition to the Yang family during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Coincidentally, "Water Margin" also talks about a descendant of the Huyan family, Hu Yanzhuo, which seems to prove that the Huyan family is a once prominent military general.
If you want to fold the boss to lead the way, you will not do it: "Good my handsome!" You want to go to the Yang family to walk around, and if you don't say it, the Yang family will naturally welcome you. The little one is a little bit close to the old lady, and he is familiar with the way, so it is not a big deal. The small ones can also be mixed with a drink with the big handsome.
This Huyan family, hum, I'm not going! β
Fang Zhongyongqi said: "Could it be that the threshold of the Huyan family is too high and the number of etiquette is too large, and this handsome man needs to bow down in advance?"
Elder Zhe laughed and said: "Huyanzan is the highest but a state assassin history, what is the threshold?" It's farther than the old order! As for the number of rites, do they have this thing in their house? β
Fang Zhongyong raised his leg and kicked it: "You classless veteran ruffian, you are not afraid of the wind and flashing your tongue when you say this." Is it just a history of thorns? is bigger than Lao Tzu's official, so isn't my horse handsome a fart in your eyes? β
You can't talk to a guy like Boss Fold. I was kicked, but it was like getting closer.
The boss said with a hippie smile: "It's not a little arrogant, it's really that this Huyan family is different from others." To say that Hu Yanzan, the head of the previous generation, is also a big hero who is not much different from Lao Linggong. That's what makes people cry and laugh. β
"It's hard to laugh or cry, you are illiterate."
Boss Zhe didn't know what illiteracy meant, but he probably didn't praise him, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he only said a few interesting things about Hu Yanzan.
In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979), Hu Yanzan followed Song Taizong to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, and was the first to climb the city tower, and he had the merit of ascending first. It's just that his legs and feet are not very good, and he fell from the low wall of the city four times during the battle. Taizong didn't think about it, and rewarded him with gold silk in person.
This benevolent brother was thrown hard, thinking that the next game must be stable in order to gain a foothold in the army. When his grandson Huyan Shouyong was born, he thought about throwing his grandson off the city wall to test whether his grandson had development potential.
fell to death, belonging to the waste that there is not. If you can't die, you are a good son of the Huyan family. Thanks to the desperate obstruction of the family, otherwise the old Hu family would have been extinct.
The fall experiment was stopped, and Hu Yanzan was not discouraged, and played the ice bucket challenge again. In the winter, he poured cold water on his son and grandson, hoping that his son could improve his ability to resist the cold and fight against the Liao people in the north in the future.
A few years later, Huyanzan was too old to fight, and his son had grown up, so he didn't let him play casually. This old and strong military man played art, or performance art.
He tattooed the words "Killing Thieves with Naked Hearts" everywhere on his body, and even his wife, son, and servants tattooed these words on their bodies. His four sons had another tattoo behind their ears: "Go out and forget your home for your country, and forget your death when you go into battle." β
Can you imagine the sourness of a person with a couplet tattooed on his body?
The usual dress is also unusual. It belongs to the standard "Yu Young is good at this strange service, and he is old and not declining". Every day, he dresses up in fancy clothes, rides a messy horse, and swaggers through the market.
Seeing that the yarn hats and wings of other civil officials are very good-looking, and he has no yarn hats to wear, so he tied two short knives on both sides of the hat to serve as hat wings.
Don't say it, the effect is really good.
Since wearing the homemade yarn hat, there are not many relatives and friends left. Everyone is afraid of being scratched and strained by his chic hat wings!
Seeing that the boss was like talking about cross talk, and he was like a clown who was trampling the "Iron Whip King", Fang Zhongyong couldn't listen to it anymore: "Don't laugh!" The old general Huyan has fought for the country all his life, how can he chew his tongue indiscriminately and ruin his reputation. β
The boss stalked: "This is not small nonsense. If you ask, there is almost nothing you don't know about this Tokyo city. People say that it is a shame that the old man will die early, otherwise, there will be no more people left in the Huyan family! β
Fang Zhongyong is still very interested in the ancient "performance artists", but Master Huyanzan has gone to the west of the crane and has not left any artworks for the collection to add value. There is no future for performance art!
Fang Zhongyong asked, "Who is the head of the Huyan family now?"
"The fourth master will show up."
"How is it?"
Boss Zhe laughed and said, "Speaking of this fourth master, the little one is familiar. He once served as the deputy commander of the Ma Army, and he can be regarded as a colleague with the marshal! β
Fang Zhongyong kicked again: "If you can't speak, just listen carefully." It depends on who I learn to speak. A colleague refers to someone who has worked together, I haven't seen anyone else, what kind of colleague is it? This deputy marshal is not as good as his father, right? β
The old man shook his head: "No! Not at all! It's still very elegant! β
"I see you're itchy again, aren't you? Can't you just talk well? β
"It's really not a small nonsense, the big handsome will understand it at a glance."
When I arrived at Huyan's house, the name card was sent in.
Not long after, Huyan's family opened the middle door, and the head of the family, Huyan Bixian, went out to greet him in person, giving enough face.
Look at the top and bottom of the Huyan family, all dressed up and down by scribes. One by one, the muscles were stretched, and the ill-fitting shirt was bulging. It's like a black astringent will wear a tuxedo, which is nondescript.
It is said that Fang Zhongyong is the current Ma Shuai, and Huyan Bixian is the retiring deputy marshal, and it is most appropriate to treat each other with military salute when they meet.
But no, Hu Yan Bixian bowed his hand and said, "Wansheng has seen Lord Shilang later."
Fang Zhongyong was taken aback, what are you trying to make a fuss about? Who are you a late student? When did I become your senior?
hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't be like this, the old general, it's really a frustration!"
Hu Yanbi smiled and said: "Lord Fang is the champion of Jing You's first year, and he is also a soldier Cao Shilang. I am vulgar and ignorant, and I claim to be a late student, but I am actually a high climber! A few of you come here and see what a real literati are like. β
The old Hu family Ding Buwang - Hu Yanzan is a strange man on the stall, and he is already genetically strong after he is extinct - only the brothers Huyan Shouyong and Huyan Shouxin have children and nephews, and one of the grandchildren is famous, who is the protagonist in "Hu Jiajiang", Hu Yanqing. At this time, he was just a child who had just changed his teeth, and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Fang Zhongyong enjoyed the treatment of rare animals, and was carefully visited by the people of the old Hu family, and the naughty Hu Yanqing also touched it a few times with his hand, as if he wanted to get some literary temperament. There are unrestrained servants, and even have the idea of exploring three ways down, but they failed.
Joke! What level are you, a glance from a distance is enough to cheap yours! Why, do you want to drive in and see it?
Huyan Bixian drank away from the guy who had Long Wangshu, and asked Fang Zhongyong to come into the study to speak.
Yes, you heard it right, it's the study.
A true literati will definitely have an elegant and comfortable study. Moreover, the books in the study must be read by yourself often, not put out for others to read.
Looking at the room full of books, Fang Zhongyong admired it very much: "I really didn't know that the old general was so fond of reading, and your mansion has a lot of books!" Compared with Yan's participation in politics and Fuyan's country, it is still surpassed! β
Hu Yanbi smiled meaningfully: "It's not that the old man brags, or the collection of books in the palace is not necessarily more than the old man's house." It's just that there are more books, and there are more words, and I can't recognize them all! β
Okay! You're here to learn new words!
Fang Zhongyong smiled awkwardly: "The old general said he was laughing!" The disciple of the general, who is familiar with the art of war, is good at battle battles! Is it difficult to recite poems and find chapters and sentences? Isn't that just like Zhang Fei embroidering flowers, and the master selling knives, it's not what he does? β
Hu Yan Bixian couldn't stop laughing: "Lord Shilang is really worthy of being a talented person, and his exit is a chapter." I admire it very much! β
Fang Zhongyong couldn't stand Huyan Bixian's "late life" one by one.
What kind of fresh meat does a fifty or sixty-year-old veteran pretend to be? Besides, we are just a soldier Cao Shilang, not the Ministry of Rites in charge of the exam, let alone the Ministry of Rites. If your words get out, what do others think Fang Zhongyong has?
Fang Zhongyong said with a straight face: "If the old general is tired of someone Fang, just say it explicitly." If you don't want to give an eviction order, just ask the old general to stay with his sons and nephews! β
Huyan Bixian waved his hand again and again: "Then where is it?" Although you are young, your position is higher than that of a certain family, and you should judge you as an equal. Be brave, keep your promises, and come to meet the uncle of the Fang family. β
Looking at the two eldest nephews who have inexplicably appeared, who are they?
Of course, he also understands Huyan Bixian's thoughts.
If there were no major changes, the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty would not have undergone a fundamental change. Even if there is a war at the border pass, it is basically certain that a civilian official is the commander-in-chief.
If there is no effective civilian official in the court, the decline of the Wuxun family is almost irreversible. Even if you are the reincarnation of Wei Huo, you will be blind if you don't have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
The general's strategy is crude, but it looks so cute.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhongyong suddenly understood the reason for Hu Yanzan's many comic performances.
It's not to avoid suspicion.
To put it mildly, if you want to avoid suspicion, you must first have the qualification to make the emperor suspicious. The Cao family and the Shi family are qualified, and if Yang Ye doesn't die, maybe he is qualified.
Huyanzan? A rough man who only relies on courage to gain a foothold, his biggest official position is just a thorn history, and he has no culture, so he can't govern the place. With his great courage, he was not able to resist rebellion.
But at this time, it was seen that Huyanzan's brain was good.
In terms of warfare, there has been no major war in the north for a long time since the alliance of the Yuanyuan. Even if there is a battle to be fought, those famous generals are waiting for him, and it will be his turn?
Where do you work? If you can't count the money and food in the accounts, you will be deceived by the petty officialsβthis is an example.
So, Huyanzan came up with a brilliant way - pretending to be stupid.
Because of his outstanding acting skills, he was well received by the audience, uh no, Emperor Taizong's praise, and he really got some benefits.
As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier.
Taizong hangs, Zhenzong succeeds to the throne, and the grace is not as good as before. Although awards are also given according to the rules, they have shown a decline.
Zhenzong hung up again, Renzong Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, and Huyan Bixian relied on his qualifications to mix up the title of deputy marshal of the three ya, and he had no more progress.
According to the thoughts of ordinary people, you are the deputy commander of an ordinary ** soldier, what else do you want to drop?
A guy with a broken wheel said that he didn't want to be a general's cook, and he was not a good driver.
Although Huyan Bixian's driving ability is not as good as his father's, and his face does not seem to be cultivated to the point that King Kong is not bad, but he is a person who has a study, and he still has some strategy.
No, it just happened that Fang Zhongyong threw himself into the net, so he will be calculated.
Fang Zhongyong didn't care, he just took what he needed and helped each other.
