Chapter 31: The Star Chasers

Li Zong and other wealthy families in the city, all who participated in the resale of official grain and official salt, were sent by Hao Dongqing, who had a heart to investigate and investigate, sent troops to raid the house, and all the family members were demoted to official slaves, Chen Baihu was reprimanded and exempted from the crime by the state government yamen because of the report that Zhou Fuan and others were meritorious, and voluntarily donated half of the family property to atone for their crimes, and Lin Kun could not provide the whereabouts of the seized military food and salt, and it has been condemned to death, and the county commander Zhou Fuan was a local magistrate (before the Ming and Qing dynasties, the county order was not as small as the sesame officials passed down by mouth, and the territory under management was larger than that of the counties in later generations, And at this time, the world was not unified, the land was limited, and there were not many counties, and the status was particularly important), greedy for ink and bribes a large amount of gold, silver, money and grain, and was reported to the court by the state government yamen quickly, but was dismissed by the court and demoted to a commoner.

Because of the relationship with the Lin family, Liu Gouwa went to the yamen of the state capital many times to intercede and excuse Lin Kun's family, but Hao Dongqing seized the opportunity to weaken the opponent, how could he easily let go, and always reprimanded Liu Gouwa for the kindness of women, it is difficult to achieve great things. In the end, Hao Dongqing was annoyed, and he simply didn't even see Liu Gouwa's face, and Liu Gouwa couldn't help it.

In terms of execution and beheading, the state government yamen is vigorous and resolute, there is no saying that there is a full meal before the execution, and there is no waiting for the autumn to ask for beheading, it is a troubled time, the people's livelihood is difficult, who has the leisure to let you waste rice and grain, and there are people who die in vain every day, it is commonplace, how can there be any friction in cutting a few prisoners. Before Liu Gouwa could react, the heads of Lin Kun and Xie Da had already hung at the gate of the state city for three days.

In ancient times, the execution and beheading, unlike the TV dramas broadcast in later generations, dragged the prisoner to the entrance of the vegetable market, and waited until three o'clock in the afternoon to cut off the head, and after the execution, the family could immediately collect the body for burial. At this time, however, the executions were carried by the soldiers to the city gates, where they cut off their heads and hung them at the gates of the city for public display, and the city walls were plastered with notices of crimes for the crowd to watch.

Liu Gouwa heard that Lin Kun had been executed and beheaded, and was very sad, in addition to complaining that he was powerless, he felt that the world was dark and ill-fated, and he made people suffer from creation. Liu Gouwa found Wu Qi and others, collected Lin Kun's body together, and took off Lin Kun's head three days later before he could be buried. When Liu Gouwa went to the yamen of the state capital to look for Lin Kun's family, he knew that they had already been demoted to official slaves and sent to the capital, and Liu Gouwa had no choice but to give up.

After Zhou Fuan was demoted, the county order of Songcheng was vacant, and under the strong recommendation of Hao Dongqing, the state government yamen ordered Liu Gouwa to temporarily take the post of county commander and wait for the new appointment of the imperial court.

The end of the year is approaching, in the later generations of the company, Liu Gouwa, who will participate in the company's year-end inventory work at the end of each year, at this time, the first county commander, also habitually went to the county government to check, but found that in addition to the correspondence in the county office, the official warehouse has been empty, the granary has no grain of rice, the money warehouse has no silver, and the county's township forts have also been stripped of Zhou Fuan and other officials, and there is not much left.

After going to the city and countryside, the hungry people were everywhere, the bones were as thin as firewood, and the peasant households with few land and many people were even more difficult to make a living, and they wept bitterly before the end of the year, planning to flee after the year. This made Liu Gouwa, a later generation, sad and angry, these people only begged for a little rice to live, and this most basic living condition was ruthlessly deprived by those in power such as Zhou Fuan, isn't this a life.

Although he is not a good official, nor is he a good person, but since he is in his position, he must seek some welfare for these poor people, otherwise his conscience will not go, Liu Gouwa can't help but think of the state capital Yamen some time ago in the city to raid the house, copy a lot of big rich households, get a lot of money, grain and land, can't help but think of the tiger's mouth to grab food. Liu Gouwa's vision of future generations estimated that in addition to handing over a part of this money and grain to the imperial court, the rest would definitely be swallowed or divided by Hao Dongqing and other officials.

Liu Gouwa returned to the county government and felt isolated and helpless in terms of strategy, the first thing he thought of was Sun Xiucai, in later TV dramas, whenever the county order was promoted to the court, there would always be a famous master next to him to give him advice. Since Sun Xiucai got rid of the crime, the school was burned down, there is no place for him, Liu Gouwa invited him to the wine shop in the state city to teach Zhang San, Li Si and others the study, but after he degraded the reputation of Xiucai, he has no intention of teaching, just live in the wine shop, and guide Zhang San and others in their spare time. In Liu Gouwa's heart, Sun Xiucai is a knowledgeable and superhuman person, and Liu Gouwa has the heart to find him an errand similar to his master in the yali to assist him in handling the affairs of the yali.

Now, Liu Gouwa was going to grab food, and when she thought of asking Sun Xiucai, she couldn't help but explain a few words in the ya, and hurried back to the winery.

When Liu Gouwa rushed back to the winery, Zhang San, Li Si and others were playing in the courtyard of the winery, and Sun Xiucai was holding a paper in front of the window in the courtyard and reciting poems: "Who is more fragrant in the wind, drunk and dry." When returning, the candles will be red, and the moon will be ...... at night."

When Sun Xiucai saw Liu Gouwa coming back, he couldn't help but greet him, took Liu Gouwa's hand, and said with a hearty smile: "Lord Liu, come on, come on, you see, the old man got a good poem today, pure and elegant, far-reaching artistic conception, poetic luxury, and it is on the paper." ”

Since Sun Xiucai was deprived of Xiucai's fame, I haven't seen him laugh so heartily for a long time, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but smile and gave him the gift of teacher and student, and said: "Mr. Sun is polite, I don't know what good poem Mr. got it?" ”

In ancient times, a man was already an adult at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and Liu Gouwa already had an official body, so he didn't need to give Sun Xiucai a gift, but he could tell the teacher's ceremony, because Sun Xiucai had the identity of Xiucai, belonged to the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and did not kneel when he saw the official, and although Sun Xiucai was older, he had to call Liu Gouwa the highest status when he saw Liu Gouwa, which was the ancient etiquette of respect and humility.

"This is a masterpiece by Li Congjia of the Tang Kingdom, the old man bought it at a high price, haha." Sun Xiucai laughed proudly, holding the poem, like a treasure, in front of Liu Gouwa, he pointed to the words on the paper and said: "Look, the early part of this "Jade Mansion Spring" 'The evening makeup is bright and snowy, and the spring palace concubines are lined up. The sheng flute blows off the water and the clouds open, and the neon clothes are sung all over the place. The song and dance in the palace are vividly written and immersive. ”

Liu Gouwa is not good at ancient poetry, I don't know much about ancient poetry, I don't know who Li Congjia of the Tang Kingdom is at this time, when I studied history in later generations, I only remember that there were two emperors in the Southern Tang Dynasty who wrote words more powerfully, one was Li Jing, and the other was Li Jing's son Li Yu, who was particularly outstanding, and couldn't help asking: "Who is this Li Congjia?" I have only heard that there is a person named Li Yu in the Tang Dynasty who writes very well and has written many nouns. ”

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he was stunned, and looked at Liu Gouwa like an alien, dumbfounded, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Liu Gouwa was stared at by Sun Xiucai's strange eyes, extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but ask: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's right." Sun Xiucai burst out laughing and said: "This Li Congjia is Li Yu, Li Yu is also Li Congjia, Congjia is just Li Yu's word." ”

Hearing this, Liu Gouwa suddenly realized that it was all the mistake of the ancients in choosing the name and words, which made a big joke. For the ancients to take the name and take the name, Liu Gouwa is very repulsive, unlike the later generations who took a name, it was simple and simple, and taking so many names, it was simply confusing.

Although Liu Gouwa doesn't like ancient poetry, he likes modern popular poetry, and he has made some published in magazines, dozens of dollars and dozens of dollars have been won several times, looking at Sun Xiucai's worship of Li Yu's poetry, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but say: "Poetry, I can also write, it's not a big deal." ”

"You can also do poetry?" When Sun Xiucai heard this, he asked in amazement, with a look of disbelief.

"In my spare time, I also do some nonsense."

"Alright, let's hear it." Regarding Liu Gouwa's ability to make poems, Sun Xiucai obviously didn't believe it, and said casually.

Sun Xiucai's contempt made Liu Gouwa very hurt and hurt, and Liu Gouwa couldn't help but walk to the middle of the courtyard and pick up her debut work in later generations: fireworks

For the sake of being in your cold face

A splendid and charming red hibiscus

I blasted myself without reservation

Shine the most beautiful of your life

For this special day

Add a new glow

I would like to release my treasured colors

The seasons that brighten up your life

For the light of that moment in life

I will give everything I have without hesitation

Expose yourself to the darkness forever

Let yourself be short for a lifetime

It becomes the most eternal memory

It's not about coveting high-priced accolades

As long as you can feel the warmth

As long as you can be happy

I want to lose my flowery smile

Sink into the catastrophe from which it will never recover

I know

If there is no long night

How can there be the beauty of dawn and sunrise?

The glass of life does not have to be filled

There is a bosom that accommodates

The flowers of time do not need to be red

There is a perpetuation of self-confidence

My beauty doesn't have to last

It's fleeting, but it's always in my heart

After Liu Gouwa finished reciting his poems, Sun Xiucai had a witty expression and asked, "This is the poem you made?" Is this also called poetry? "Why isn't this poetry?" This is a new genre of vernacular poetry. Liu Gouwa protested.

"I haven't heard of it, it's nonsense, look at the so-called poems you made, they don't fight before and after, they don't rhyme up and down, they are chaotic, and the words and sentences are of different lengths......"

Liu Gouwa's self-esteem was greatly hurt, and the poems published in later magazines were criticized by Sun Xiucai in ancient times, and his face was dull, which made him cry and laugh, so he had to grab Bai loudly and said: "This is vernacular poetry, do you understand?" Don't pay attention to rhyme, fight evenly. ”

"What is vernacular poetry? This poetry is the same as being a person, there are no rules and no circle, how can there be a lack of genre format, how can you not pay attention to rhyme and fight evenly, then it is better to write a narrative is also called poetry, and people who can write in the world are not all poets? Sun Xiucai looked like a great Confucian in the world, taught Liu Gouwa, who was not worried, and raised the paper with Li Yu's poems in his hand, and said: "Look at the "Jade Mansion Spring" written by Li Congjia, the sixth prince, the battle is neat, orderly, seven words and eight sentences, in line with the genre, this is a good poem, a famous article." ”

Liu Gouwa was speechless by Sun Xiucai's comparison of Li Yu's lesson, she was embarrassed, she wanted to die, and she almost lowered her head into her crotch.

"Also, what are you talking about fireworks?"

Gunpowder, was invented in the Song Dynasty, there were no fireworks in this era, Liu Gouwa got carried away, and recited this fireworks poem without modification, but Liu Gouwa saw an ancient iron flower in Song City, similar to the shape of fireworks, it is to use a special spoon to splash the red-hot iron into the air, forming a variety of flower shapes, beautiful.

Liu Gouwa, who was hit by Sun Xiucai, couldn't help but be listless when she saw Sun Xiucai asking, and said weakly: "That's a kind of combustible material thrown into the sky, and the burning smoke forms various flowers, similar to the iron flowers in the city." ”

Sun Xiucai heard that this fireworks were similar to the iron flowers in the city, so he no longer asked, but said slowly: "It is said that the Tang Kingdom is rich and the people are sufficient, culture and education are prosperous, poetry and books are popular, and celebrities and scholars are gathered, which can be seen from this "Jade Mansion Spring". After speaking, there was a yearning on his face.

Although Liu Gouwa didn't read much of Li Yu's poems, she knew his status in the poetry world, which was well-known in ancient and modern times, especially a few famous works, which were even more popular, and couldn't help but say: "This Li Yutian genius is a rare lyricist." ”

Sun Xiucai also sighed: "I can't imagine that he, a prince, can write such an amazing poem, it's admirable, I don't know if I can see this person in my lifetime, alas, it's difficult!" Difficult! Difficult! Then, he turned to Liu Gouwa and said: "Lord Liu, the old man has no worries, and he will be taken care of, and he will resign to the adults in the next year, go to the Tang Kingdom, and meet the six princes, so that he will have no regrets in this life." ”

Liu Gouwa heard Sun Xiucai say that she was going to Tang Kingdom to see Li Yu after the New Year, and couldn't help but be surprised, isn't this a copy of those fans and fans chasing their idols in later generations to sign autographs and take photos? The beautiful name is called: star chaser. The difference is that Sun Xiucai is chasing a word person, so he can be regarded as a word fan.

Liu Gouwa had the intention to keep Sun Xiucai for her own use, and tried hard to recall that when she was studying in later generations, the teacher asked her to memorize the famous poems, Li Yu still vaguely remembered a few more famous lyrics, and couldn't help but say to Sun Xiucai: "Mr. wants Li Yu's poems, why do you have to go all the way to the Tang Kingdom, the merchants of the Tang Kingdom came to Songcheng to buy wine, brought some of his poems over, and I copied a few poems, and gave them to Mr. ”
