Chapter 18 18.I want not to be afraid

Between the shouts of everyone, the two lower eyelids of the Empress Dowager Yang were swollen and astringent, and the contents of the tears stimulated the face. Emperor Zhao and the Empress Dowager embraced.

By the end of the seventh pass, Zhang Shijie's breath was already vague, he sat on the ground, and muttered to himself: "Old man, I'm ashamed...... Ancestors ...... Liejong ...... There are negative ...... Santo ......"

And all the people fell to the ground one after another, and there were some who wept.

Gradually, after a brief climax, the sea lapped against the wooden boat.

I don't know when, it's like the world is particularly peaceful.

In the hazy teary eyes, Emperor Zhao suddenly saw a pair of white and bare feet......

In this world, barefoot poor men can be seen everywhere, but their feet are all black, dilapidated, and generally dirty, and the little emperor sees the feet of the ministers, interiors, and guards more often, and they are all wearing all kinds of "shoes" (note: shoes), Zhao Yu's little emperor is a little curious in his heart, "It's so strange", and then, he raised "vigilance" - "Who is this?" ”

Looking up along his feet, the white silk hanging down fluttered in the sea breeze, and when he looked up, the hem of the silk was not a robe or clothing, but a piece of silk, tied around his waist, and Zhao Yu had never seen how to wear this kind of clothes.

(Note: In the later generations, the bath towel was tied to one end \/side of the bath towel, placed on the left or right crotch, and then the other side, after bypassing the body, thinking about the opposite side of the crotch, pulling it over, and then turning the overlapping edge downward)

The man's waist, abdomen, and chest were full of tight muscles, and the abdomen was like the back shell of a turtle, and there were squares of muscles on both sides, but it was not at all like the thin or fluffy ones he had seen before, but as white and even shiny as ivory, and on the man's head, there was almost no hair, and some black medicinal powder was applied to the midline of the top of the head......

It seemed that no one noticed how he appeared, he appeared so suddenly, and Emperor Zhao Yu felt that a kind of compassion, a kind of affinity, a kind of trust, and a kind of affection gradually grew.

Zhao Hao raised his head, and somehow, he chattered:

"Are you a god?

Teach me, please, how to do it?

I don't want my mother to work so hard and come back every night to cry......"

Hearing this sentence vaguely, the Empress Dowager Yang didn't react, but the huge impulse in her heart gushed out again, and tears spurted out again, the Empress Dowager Yang didn't care about her demeanor at all, hearing this sentence, Empress Dowager Yang's heart suddenly melted in the flames, and her heart twitched to almost suffocation......

"Tears until... Sky... Bright. Zhao Hao swallowed dryly and said with difficulty.

At this time, Empress Dowager Yang only had motherhood, and she was painful and happy, hugged Zhao Yu tightly, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Yu'er, Yu'er, for the mother, for the mother......"

"Mother, you don't want me to see it, you know something, but I know, mother, she, really, really tired. Therefore, if the mother confessed, Yu'er tried her best to do it, but, mother, mother, mother, Zhao Yu's tears silently left two traces of coldness.

"The mother wants Yu'er to listen to the master's words, and also put Master Zhang (note: Zhang Shijie) from the young master, crowned to the Taifu, the emperor, listen to the words of the young master, also listen to the words of the Taifu, read the sage book every day, the emperor's qualifications are reckless, the endorsement is not so good, the Taifu has been doing more state affairs recently, but the requirements for endorsement have not been reduced. The emperor recited more, so that those Yidi could know more etiquette and less killing karma. ”

"However, there are more and more Yidi, and our Great Song Imperial Court is getting further and further south, and there are more and more wrinkles and white hair on my mother's head."

Zhao Yu was frightened, and his mother said that he wanted to save money (note: saving money is to reduce material consumption and waste, such as eating less and dressing less), the emperor eats half of it every day, and now eats the original three percent, and when he is hungry, he wants to sleep, he can't walk, and it is becoming more and more difficult to endorse. But I know, mother, mother ”

"However, Yidi is still there, and they are still slaughtering the people of my Han family. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day, my mother won't be able to talk to me......"

"They say you're a water guest, and they say you can light the sea for water and boil the sea for salt.

I scolded you during the court meeting last night, saying that since you ran away, you must not be a good person, but that is because I didn't know you at that time.

You do these things for the soldiers and civilians of my Great Song Dynasty, and they say that you are a master, are you an immortal in the water? ”

Little Emperor Zhao Yu said.

"What do you want?" The figure like the moon in the cold wind did not answer Zhao Hao, but asked directly.

"I want to beg you, let my mother and relatives no longer be afraid, no longer so exhausted, and there are still the princess, the prime minister, and many people, don't worry about it every day. Good no good? "The little emperor Zhao Hao has no displeasure, immortals, they should be so indifferent to the world, but if Zhao Yu doesn't hurry up while the courage is still there, ask a question or make a request, he doesn't know how long he still has the courage to exist.

On the whole deck, people held their breath and stared, on the one hand, the little emperor was talking, and others could not interject, on the other hand, such a major historical issue was definitely not something that ordinary people could easily think, ask, and think, and it was even more difficult to understand.

After waiting for three breaths, the little emperor Zhao Yu felt that his courage was about to be exhausted in the cold wind, and the figure replied gently:

"There is no fear in life?!

Your requirements are really high!

Don't you know, it's a lifelong lesson? ”

Zhao Hao's feeling of weakness hit his heart, his body shook for a moment, and Empress Dowager Yang felt Zhao Hao's dynamics and immediately hugged him tightly.

"Let's change it," the figure continued.

"So, expel those barbarians and restore the rivers and mountains of my Han family, okay?" Little Emperor Zhao Yu said.

Special Note:

The general term is a general term for the ethnic minorities of the four directions in ancient times. The east is called Yi, the south is called barbarian, the west is called Rong, and the north is called Di. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were differences among the residents of Huaxia and Rong, Di, Man, and Yi. The vassal states were economically and culturally more advanced and called themselves Huaxia, and they called the relatively backward small countries or tribes Rong, Di, Barbarian, and Yi. With the evolution of history, many Rong, Di, Man, Yi and Huaxia intricately mixed and fused, constantly merging, and together formed the Chinese nation after the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

But the academic understanding is closely related to the ruling circles that support/tolerate. Therefore, it may not be possible to fully understand the true meaning of China or Huaxia, or Han Chinese, or more appropriate.

I am also more inclined to think that the Chinese civilization or the Chinese civilization or the Han civilization is more embodied in the following aspects, respecting the heavens and the ancestors/respecting nature, which is a kind of rational feeling and pursuit, which should be seen in the literature of Taoism and the early Zhuzi Baijia, and the primitive totem, fetishism and Zoroastrianism or SAMANISM, there is a more obvious difference, the original meaning of awe and fear and respect and distance is different, the original intention of awe is more inclined to respect because of the understanding of authority, and abide by the boundary.

"Good," the Venerable Master muttered for a moment and said.

"I will not be defeated!" Little Emperor Zhao Yu spoke.

"There may be a lot of deaths, many, many people, what are you?" The Venerable Master's voice was like a clear brass bell, speaking slowly, loudly but firmly.

Silent......

"I ......" the little emperor Zhao Yu was speechless, but he knew that this must be answered.

"Returning to the Venerable Master, there were clouds in the past, and those who committed strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" This is Mrs. Zhang Shijie answering for his emperor students.

"Tai Fu's words are fallacious, strong on the side, why go far?! It is advisable to hang the head of the street, where to the barbarian mansion?! This was the Venerable Master's answer.

Lin Shangren and the little emperor, as well as Taifu and Lin Shangren, the process and general idea are as follows:

The little emperor's love for his mother naturally grew, so he told the truth that his mother was strong in front of people and haggard in the back, which made the little emperor's mother both relieved and helpless.

The Lin Shangren came to the little emperor because of a special feeling and calling, and the little emperor wanted the Venerable Master to be able to help his mother, him, and his subjects, so that he could no longer suffer so much pain and fearβ€”the point was that there would be no pain for the rest of his life.

Lin Shangren said that it is not so simple for people to have pain, it is a lesson given to people by God, not something that can be simply changed or should be done by human beings - the main thing is to avoid lifelong suffering, which is much more complicated than the little emperor imagined, so there is no way to promise the little emperor, and there is no way to explain, let the little emperor change his wish.

【

Note: Due to the length and structure of the novel, it is not possible to expand on this issue here, from the conception of an individual, the birth of children, growth, study, work, creation, and even the development of the family and the clan and the country, it is impossible and there is no "benefit" that everyone thinks. Another simple explanation is that there are no contented people in the world, and simply obeying people's desires will quickly consume everything they can grab/squander.

】

The little emperor then changed his direct object - to kill the current barbarian invaders, and let us restore the country.

Lin Shangren said-Okay, that is, it means to agree.

(Note: The meaning of goodness here, which is not simply good or bad, is a systematic affirmation, but the meaning of the system, the little emperor's insight has not yet been able to understand.) οΌ‰

Just when the little emperor thought that this matter was over, just like all the subjects, they would be grateful for contributing everything, but Lin Shangren immediately said something very different from his past experience, ethics, and worldview, Lin Shangren said, if for the restoration of the Song Dynasty, let those barbarians be expelled from the land, it is to fight, and many people will die, what are you going to do? How to deal with this?

The real meaning of this sentence is that when a lot of people die, who are you going to make to suffer? Who are you going to put on the responsibility for the possible infamy? Who are you going to make the price pay?

The little emperor does not have this overall view, so the old fox Zhang Shijie wants to answer for the little emperor and strive for this kind of assistance, but whether it is out of a historical limitation or a weakness of human nature, Zhang Shijie tries to use "righteousness" and "national pride", "blood and courage in life", etc., to answer \/persuade\/mislead Lin Shangren, he used an allusion - if you commit a strong man, you will be punished if you are far away!

[Note: The words come from the book of the famous general Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!"] ”】

This kind of words, in the court discussion, belong to political correctness, and can very boost morale, but, unfortunately, there is a but, this needs the support of national strength, soldiers use their lives, and the people are fierce, and they need strength to support. And Zhang Shijie went from a young master to a Taifu - unlike the original time and space, Zhang Shijie only became a young master in the original time and space, but in the different time and space where Lin Xi is located, Zhang Shijie has been promoted to the Taifu because of his support for Zhao Yu, the king of the guards, and he doesn't plan to say it, who bears these risks and responsibilities, according to some karma religion, so many people die, someone has to exchange the blessings of the future generations?! Those Han people who were killed were because they killed those nomads in their previous lives, anyway, to explain it this way, there is no proof of death.

So, since Mrs. Zhang Shijie doesn't mention who will bear the cause and effect, then only the only executor will bear the cause and effect!

This is a trap played by Zhang Shijie.

How do you know that Lin Xi himself has gone through events in different time and space, and he already has a very clear understanding of causal clues, so Zhang Shijie's words, and more importantly, his motive, immediately made Lin Xi very dissatisfied.

So Lin Xi used the method of attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, he said

"Tai Fu's words are fallacious, strong on the side, why go far?! It is advisable to hang the head of the street, where to the barbarian mansion?! ”

Obviously, Taifu, there is something unreasonable in what you said, you see, what you are talking about is that those guys who are committed to touching the head of the big Han with open fire, no matter how far they go, or no matter how far they run, the Han people will also kill them, but now the powerful nomads are very close to the army of the Song Dynasty, not far at all? You don't have to run far to kill them. And how do we get to hang the heads of these barbarians at the gates of their tribes?

What is the edge behind this statement?

The history books record that in 36 BC, after Chen Tang served as the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions Protectorate, he forged the imperial court order and mobilized the soldiers of the Tuntian border and the troops of the surrounding small countries, adding up to a total of about 40,000 people, preparing to encircle and suppress Zhi Zhi Shan Yu was disciplined everywhere he went, and by the way, he comforted and comforted the little brothers who had been bullied by Zhi Zhi Shan Yu in the Western Regions, and told them that the boss came to help you. I was warmly welcomed and cooperated with those little brothers. In the end, he surrounded the stronghold where Zhi Zhishan Yu was, broke the city, and won a big victory. In addition to killing Zhi Zhishan Yu and cutting off his head, killing dozens of his wives, he also killed a total of 1,518 people under the crown prince and the famous king, captured 145 people, and surrendered more than 1,000 people. This is the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty to kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu, even if it is a meritorious person such as Wei Qinghuo to get sick, he has never killed the Xiongnu Shan Yu. And the number of high-level heads won in this battle is also unprecedented. Chen Tang's battle completely solved the border problem in the Western Regions, and safeguarded the interests and prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, which can be described as an immortal achievement. Chen Tang wrote in his letter to the emperor after the battle: "It is advisable to hang your head in the barbarian mansion on the street to show thousands of miles." Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Therefore, the consciousness of the whole sentence of the offender is that the severed head should be hung on the street where the barbarians live, so as to warn the Quartet! Let everyone know that whoever violates my powerful Han Dynasty, no matter how far it goes, we will definitely destroy him!

Has this sentence been enforced?

According to historical records, Prime Minister Kuang Heng and Imperial Historian Fan Yanshou believed, "Zhi Zhishan Yu and the head of the famous king traveled around the world, and there was nothing that the barbarians did not know." But the "Moon Order" says that spring is the time to bury the bones, so it's better not to hang your head. However, Xu Jia, the general of the chariot cavalry, and Wang Shang, the right general, believed that "in the Spring and Autumn Period, the valley was aligned, and Youshi ridiculed the monarch, and Confucius killed him. It should be hung for ten days before being buried. So, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict saying that he would do it according to the advice of the generals, and in this way, (Zhi Zhi was singled out) hanging between the barbarian mansions on the street to show thousands of miles.

Therefore, Lin Shangren re-raised this sentence before and after, and made it clear that it was going to kill a lot of people, who would bear it?

At this time, I only heard a clear voice (note: pronounced chì): "You wait for Hugh to say more" It turned out to be the Empress Dowager Yang.

Empress Dowager Yang pushed away some Zhao Hao, turned her head to Lin Shangren, took off the phoenix crown, stood up, and said to Lin Shangren:

"Venerable Master,

Yu'er is where the country is located, and the mourning family is the mother of the country, and there is no reason to cherish her body.

Nearly 200,000 soldiers have died and died, 20 million Han heirs have broken their homes, and more than 100 million women and children have been exposed......

(Note: Some studies believe that the number of households in Song Daguan reached 20.88 million in three years, and the population was about 112.75 million.) οΌ‰

My husband is dignified and orthodox, and the emperor is noble, how can I see small profits and forget my life, and do big things and forget my righteousness.

(Note: In the twenty-first chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao's evaluation of Yuan Shao is in the chapter of Cao Cao's Cooking Wine on Heroes.) The original text is Cao Xiao: "Yuan Shaose is very timid, and he is indecisive and scheming; Do big things and spare your life, see small profits and forget your life: non-heroes. to the effect that Yuan Shao is a fierce and timid person, who has good plans but no decisions; Doing big things but cherishing his life, seeing small profits but forgetting his life, is not a hero. οΌ‰

Venerable Master, these tens of millions of lives, hundreds of millions of causes and effects, if it is for the restoration of the country and the restoration of China, how can the mourning family escape, may I bear all these sufferings for the children.

The Venerable Master, the country is broken, and the mourning family now takes the crown on the top as a memory to support the Venerable Master's mercy. ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Yang leaned forward slightly, held the phoenix crown with both hands, and sent it to Lin Xi's chest for half a foot, waiting quietly, everything she could do had already been done.

Zhang Shijie was just about to shout, Lu Xiufu covered Zhang Shijie's mouth, so stuffy that he almost couldn't breathe, only to hear some faint leakage of voices, "Too... hou.. wu... k.. e”。

And the little emperor Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and as if he suddenly understood something, he cried out: "Mother~~~"

But when he saw Lu Xiufu covering Zhang Shijie's action, he covered his mouth.

Lin Xi seemed to smell \/ feel like a mist \/ like water droplets \/ like the aroma of the sun, gardenia sweet and greasy \/ Milan fluttering clear\/ the smell of musk after rotting flesh \/ pine needles and pine resin in the scorching sun transparent translucent glass like rippling aroma \/ the sound of the erhu strings just twitching \/ pine waves burst into layers, these trance flow and merge in a trance, and suddenly, condense into a drop of dew, it seems to be on the palm of the left hand, Lin Xi gently twisted, a beautiful texture melted from the palm of the palm, without a trace.

Lin Xi came back to his senses, feeling that his eyes were full of tenderness, as if he saw his first child, the first time he turned over the pillow, and when he crawled over to touch himself, the little guy had short legs and short hands like lotus roots, experienced and worked hard, and the result rolled down, just about to cry, seeing his father's smile, the little guy, the tears were still in his eyes, and the cry had just made the first syllable, Lin Xi opened his right hand, opened his four fingers horizontally, and gently touched his daughter's little finger knots with his thumb. Those little fingers are as big as soybean grains......

Lin Xi's senses are always more acute than those of ordinary partners, and he seems to be able to feel the flow of certain breaths, which makes many children both like and fear.

But that day, when he was with his daughter, at that moment, Lin Xi clearly remembered that when Lin Xi touched his daughter's finger, he said to his daughter in his heart: Baby, any growth you have, your father will give you love.

The daughter's fingers touched the thumb of Lin Xi's right hand, and then went down, slowly touching the big fish, the palm, and then silently smiled, the small eyebrows, stretched, and then the eyebrows bent up, opened a small mouth, and da.

An extremely smooth grease-like breath, rippling down from her daughter's fingertips, to Lin Xi's palm, the vigorous vitality made Lin Xi seem to have an illusion, before, there was rational love for her daughter, and there was also blood love for no reason, but at this moment, a kind of spirituality or spoiling and love in the soul made Lin Xi surprised, the flow of time seemed to become very slow, or Lin Xi's time feeling became very long, Lin Xi put four fingers together, which mass of silky grease \/watertight/stalactite-like breath, Holding it in his hand, in an instant, the breath and air mass were integrated into the bloodline, Lin Xi's heart was singing, as if there were so many elves all over the body, chattering, and it seemed that every voice and conversation could be heard clearly, but he couldn't recall it. 、

Then, as if he had swallowed something, he raised his head and stretched his neck, and his little belly bulged, and then fell, and then he had a full burp......

Then, then she got excited and continued to start all kinds of climbing, ignoring Lin Xi.

Tiny short legs, kicking around......

Empress Dowager Yang sent the phoenix crown out, she had mixed feelings in her heart, but it was more about the germination of maternal love, which calmed her heart and really let go of the burden of Qianjun.

Then, she calmed down, and then, as if she saw the smile on Lin Xi's face, that smile was extremely pure, and even for a few moments, the Queen Mother seemed to be standing on the top of the mountain, with thousands of pine waves under her feet, and white clouds fluttering in the distance and near one by one..... It's so weird, what's going on?

The little Emperor Zhao Yu saw that the Venerable Master was breathing gently, and the muscles and ribs of his chest seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the man seemed to be getting taller and taller, and then, the Venerable Master's head tilted downward, and a pair of eyes were clear and bottomless, and a voice reached his ears: "How are you?" ”

Zhao Hao grabbed his mother's belt tightly, plucked up his courage, and stammered, "Queen Mother...... My mother is so bitter and tired...... I, I am the monarch, the king dies, the Son of Heaven is the gate of the country, death is death, I, I, that, I will never let my mother suffer.... Uh, mother dust, that, ancestor, ancestor, shame, let, let the subjects, subjects, suffer! ”

Finally finished speaking, Zhao Hao puffed up his small chest, but his trembling body betrayed him.

Zhao Yu saw that the head of the person in the forest left him.

With a hook of hands, let Hui Niang and Zhen Niang come over.

Lin Xi took the phoenix crown of the Empress Dowager Yang with both hands, handed it to Hui Niang Haosheng to hold, and then picked up the hands of the half-squatting Empress Dowager Yang and helped him up: "Your love saved you." ”

Then, he looked at the little emperor Zhao Yu: "Your letter saved you." ”

Then, Lin Xi said loudly: "You first solve the problem of drinking water for the soldiers, and after four hours, the supervisor and the chief of the baggage and soldiers and horses will come to me." Tomorrow, let you taste the taste of freedom. ”
