Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 8 Pointing to the Sky and Determination
Jiang Hyun patted his thigh, almost bursting into tears, he sighed and said, "Alas! I'm not talking about the people, but I'm wondering, who made them like this? ”
Jing Zhen's eyes widened slightly, and she said with a little doubt: "Of course it's Wang Qiao!" ”
Jiang Xun shook his head again and said, "Wang Qiao? Definitely, none! It's me, it's me! Then he said, "It's not me, it's not me!" ”
Jing Zhen's expression changed greatly, panicked, he was afraid that Jiang Xun was because he couldn't stand the stimulation of the ingratitude of the people, so he was talking nonsense, and just about to ask, he heard Jiang Xun say: "It's this world, it's this world!" As he spoke, he took Jing Zhen's hand, and his tone became more and more passionate, "Eunuchs and relatives compete with each other, Qingliu celebrities talk about filth, and powerful bullies abuse and harm the people!" Along the way, I have seen how many people have been forced into slavery, and how many wives have been separated! The more Jiang Hyun spoke, the more excited he became, he stood up and walked out of the house, his voice became higher and higher, Shi Ah and Jing Wei heard the voice, afraid that something would happen, and also rushed over.
Seeing Jiang Hyun standing under the eaves excitedly, Shi A and Jing Wei glanced at each other, and they didn't know why, so they heard Jiang Hyun continue: "When I was in Qingzhou, I saw that the common people were oppressed and resisted with weapons. I also heard that there was a great drought in Jizhou, the plague was rampant, and even husbands and wives sold each other and changed children to eat, just to eat a mouthful of food, just to survive! There is also that Wang Qiao, who has no king's law, runs rampant in the township, looting and tyranny, but in the world of this big man, how many places still have king's law? ”
In the world in which Jiang Hyun lived in his previous life, although there were bullies, there were also laws that were not expensive, and there were also unfair use of power, but that era was very close to the real democracy and rule of law after all, and everyone's life was basically equal. I have been in this world for more than ten years, and I was at home in Liangzhou before, although I was also learning at sunrise and learning swords at sunset, I was very hard, and I also went to the battlefield to confront the Qiang soldiers, but in general, I was only pampered, living in an ivory tower, and I really hadn't seen the darkness of society. But in the past year, he left home to study, and he really realized the difficulty of living as a people, and only then did he truly realize the difficulties of the world. For most people, living is a luxury.
Yan and Yu are going to rush the world, a rich land, and the people's lives are relatively healthy, what Jiang Xun said, Jing Zhen has not seen it, but from Jiang Xun's description, she can still imagine those tragic scenes.
Jiang Xun gritted his teeth, and then said: "Mr. Kang Cheng, the family teacher, is erudite and insightful, and thinks about the people's livelihood, but he can suffer from the disaster of the party, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go out for the rest of his life." My father was a governor and a governor, who was honest and honest and benefited one party, but because he offended the ten permanent servants, he was sent to Beijing and was almost killed. In the past 18 years, how many people with lofty ideals have just sought justice, at least they live in seclusion to avoid trouble, and at worst they have been tragically destroyed, and even more have been affected by the whole door! ”
As Jiang Xun said, today's world can be described as extremely rotten, Shi A and Jing Wei are different from Jing Zhen, they have some knowledge, and when they hear Jiang Xun say, they are also deeply touched, and they are all eager to eat meat in the unscrupulous eunuchs, corrupt officials, and corrupt officials. The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of grief and indignation.
Jiang Hyun walked up to Shi A and Jing Wei, took their hands, and said, "The Han family has been drowsy until now, and we are anxious for the birth of heroes!" Although Hyun is young and talented, he has the ambition to clarify the world, and both of them are brave heroes, can you help me? ”
Shi Ah was defeated by Jiang Hyun and saved by Jiang Hyun, and he was determined to follow Jiang Hyun. Jing Wei also admires Jiang Hyun's courage and wisdom, and now, like Shi A, he admires his mind and ambition. The great husband was born in the world, and it would be a great blessing if he was to know the Lord. He arched his hand and said: "Although Shi A is a light man, he also knows the word loyalty, as the so-called poultry chooses good wood, and ministers choose virtuous kings, and they have to meet the master, and Ah Ping's wish is enough." ”
Jing Wei also arched his hand, nodded excitedly, and said, "Jing Wei is the same!" ”
Shi A also said: "From today on, A's life is Jiang Jun's life, and A's body is Jiang Jun's body, but with drive, there is no second heart. A vow and the king, weal and bene, lifelong companionship, life and death together. ”
Jing Wei's eyes were filled with tears, and he also said: "Jing Wei is willing to follow Jiang Jun in this life, drive for you, and Kuang the world, what to say!" ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Hyun pointed to the sky as an oath: "The sky is above, the thick soil is the proof, Hyun swears here, Hyun wishes in this life, all are sweeping the world and correcting the world, but for this purpose, life and death do not matter!" ”
"But for this purpose, life and death do not matter!" "But for this purpose, life and death do not matter!" …… The three of them repeated the oath over and over again, then looked at each other and laughed.
Jing Zhen was still sitting in the room, looking at Jiang Hyun's tall figure under the morning sun, her eyes were sparkling and becoming more and more confused.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Hyun took Shi A and Jing Wei to Sour Zao County, Jing Zhen really wanted to follow Jiang Hyun, but when she came to her little daughter's house, she was shy, afraid that Jiang Hyun would be too cumbersome and unwilling to take it, and Jing was old and old, and she still needed someone to take care of her. Seeing that Jiang Xun was about to leave the gate, Jing Zhen was reluctant several times, hesitated a few times, sighed a few times, and decided to stay by Jing Lao's side. But her thoughts, Jing Lao saw in his eyes.
Jing Lao also understood that although the eldest woman was reluctant, she still took Jing Zhen's hand and said privately: "If you want to go, go ahead." ”
Jing Zhen received encouragement from her father and mustered up the courage to catch up with Jiang Hyun. Jiang Xun heard Jing Zhen's shout behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Jing Zhen running over panting, and suddenly knelt on the ground, saying: "Zhen is willing to follow Jiang Jun, I hope Jiang Jun will not dislike it, Rong Zhen is by his side, take care of his daily life, and be a cow and horse." ”
Although Jiang Xun was not sure, he could probably guess Jing Zhen's intentions, but when he saw Jing Zhen making such a big gift, he also put himself too low in his words, he was still a little surprised and at a loss, he glanced at Jing Wei, after all, he was his own brother and wanted him to break the siege. But Jing Wei just smirked, and he didn't know if he really didn't see his eyes or didn't understand what he meant.
Seeing that Jing Wei didn't move, Shi Ah hid far away, Jiang Hyun had no choice but to quickly help Jing Zhen up, and said, "Why do you have to be like this, I treat Ah Wei like a friend, and I will not treat you as a slave." You will stay here first, you are old and need to be taken care of. I went to the county on this trip and begged the county magistrate to send another pavilion official to allow Jing Lao to resign. At that time, he will either go to Beijing with me to study, or return to Liangzhou together. In any case, I will come to pick up your father and daughter. ”
Listening to Jiang Hyun's words, he was willing to follow him. Whether it was a few days later or longer, things finally settled down, and Jing Zhen's heart was relieved. She lowered her head and said coquettishly, "I hope you are back." ”
"Oops!" Jing Wei complained, and then smiled: "Sister, don't worry, Jiang Jun has promised to share the reward for killing Wang Qiao to Lizhong." I'll bring back the reward money in a few days, don't follow us to Luoyang, just stay at home, at most a few months, we will come to pick you and Ah Weng away, don't worry! ”
Jing Wei told Jing Zhen's thoughts, how could the girls not be annoyed, Jing Zhen kicked Jing Wei on the knee, and scolded lightly: "Let you talk nonsense!" Is there anyone like you who is an older brother? After speaking, he ran back to the pavilion without looking back, leaving Jiang Hyun and Shi Ahaha laughing.
Outside the gate, Jiang Xun and the others said goodbye to Jing Lao again, laughed all the way to the west, and went straight to the county seat.
It is nearly 120 miles from Zaoyang Pavilion to Suozao County, and if you walk, you can only get there in dark if you hurry up, so you may not be able to catch up with the time when the city gate is closed. Therefore, in order to hurry up, and to take care of the injured Shi A, Jiang Hyun bought two more horses on the road, and also bought a carriage for Shi A to sit in.
When buying a carriage, Shi A and Jing Wei agreed that they should buy an ox cart, and if the ox cart is only 6,000 yuan with the ox, the carriage will cost 12,000 yuan, and it is an ordinary carriage and horse. But Jiang Hyun insisted on buying a carriage on the grounds that "I am a hero and can't ride a cow".
But after buying the carriage, Shi Ah refused to do it, and insisted on letting Jiang Hyun take the car. Of course, Jiang Hyun couldn't agree, so he persuaded Shi A to get into the carriage and rode away with Jing Wei himself. With the strength of the feet, the speed was really a lot faster, and I arrived at the county seat of Sujube at the end of the afternoon.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the planning in the city was orderly, roughly divided into three parts. One is Luli, where the people live.
One is the market, that is, the market, where things are bought and sold, according to the law, most cities in the Han Dynasty only have two markets in the morning and evening, with a break at noon, and the city gate is closed at night and curfew.
The other one is the official temple. Just as there are walls inside and outside where Zaoyang Pavilion is located, there are also walls on the periphery of the county temple, and the walls are taller, level with the city walls, or slightly shorter. In the former Han Dynasty, the location of the government in the city was not fixed, some were in the middle of the city, some were in the east of the city or other places, and they were different from place to place. Since Guangwu Zhongxing, it has gradually moved to the north of the city, and gradually it has become a kind of customization.
Suzao County Temple is on the central axis of this square city, sitting in the north and facing south, leaning on the north city, facing the city wall in the north, taking the meaning of "the saint listens to the world in the south and governs to the Ming".
Jiang Xun and the three of them entered the city from the west gate, passed through half of the county, and arrived at the north of the city, facing a stone que, facing the main road. Behind the stone is the gate of the county temple. On the edge of the door, there is a drum, hanging on the wood. When the people have something, they beat this drum to make it known.
When he arrived at the place, Jiang Hyun found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the county temple. He came to the Suozao County Temple for the first time, but under the whole world, except for the county temple in Yinzhu County, Henan Province, or the county temple during the war, there were two or four guards standing guard at the basic door. But today, in front of the temple in Suozao County, there are sixteen county soldiers standing in two rows, each holding a halberd and wearing armor, quite a bit of a posture of being ready for battle.
Jiang Xun hesitated slightly, and before he could speak, a county guard stepped forward and asked in a muffled voice, "Who is it?" What's the matter? ”
Jiang Hyun no longer thought about it, smiled on his face, handed the name thorn to the county pawn, and said: "Hanyang Jiang Hyun, I have heard the name of Mr. Jun Liangji of Guixian County for a long time, and I took the liberty to come here to pay respects, and I did not inform him in advance, just because there was something important, and I hope that Jun Haihan of Guixian County will meet you." ”
The word Weiju in Sour Zao County is Liangji, from Jingzhao Weishi. When Emperor Yuan of the former Han Dynasty, Wei Xuan was appointed as a young master, and then promoted to the crown prince and the prince, until the imperial historian, ranked as the third duke, and then became a marquis, which can be described as a dignitary. Later, Wei Xuancheng moved his family to Jingzhao Duling, and his descendants multiplied and prospered, and he was famous among the scholars of Sanfu, and he also had many contacts with the Jiang family of Hanyang, which was close to Sanfu.
The county guard who guarded the door saw that although Jiang Xun was young, he spoke in a crepe manner, he was a scholar, and he seemed to have something to do with his own county order, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he left a look for his companions to watch here, took the famous thorn with both hands, and ran to the county temple.
Seeing that the county guard ran in, Jiang Xun turned around, called Jing Wei, and asked, "Ah Wei, have you ever taken a word?" ”
