This is a poem written by Emperor Zhenzong "Persuasion Poem", which was regarded as a sacred text by the literati of the Great Song Dynasty.
The literati of the Great Song Dynasty have been learning all their lives, looking forward to the title of the gold list in the triennial scientific examination, like a carp crossing the river, bravely jumping over the dragon gate.
Jumped over Jackie Chan's ascension, and I can't do it again after three years!
The Great Song Dynasty was an era when literati completely suppressed warriors, and the status of scribes was exalted.
But after the literati came to power, what happened to the fortunes of the country?
In the more than 300 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has ranked first in the world in terms of economic strength, monopolizing gunpowder and firearms, the world's most advanced weapons, the world's largest number of troops, the world's first in science and technology and culture, and representing "advanced civilization" and "advanced productive forces".
Why did the officials of the Great Song Dynasty always make peace when they encountered foreign invasion?
In the main battle, if you want to win, you have to do practical things, and literati can't do it; Let others do it, you will inevitably lose power, and if others succeed, you will not be popular.
The Lord is peaceful, does not resist, does not have to do anything practical, and does not threaten his position.
What if the country dies because of non-resistance? That would be better for the literati – foreigners ruling China cannot do without themselves, and Chinese ruling China can do without themselves (at least they think so). This kind of detailed account of personal gains and losses, the literati are better than anyone else.
Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers.
Chao Chong didn't have a good impression of these Great Song literati, and kicked open the wooden door of the wing room without the slightest pressure.
The literati and scholars in the wing room suddenly changed greatly, their faces were pale with fright, their eyes were straight, and they were stunned on the spot, not knowing how to respond.
Or the girl who played the piano, accustomed to the conflict, was not alarmed, the strings in her hand were plucked lightly, and the sound of "humming" sounded, such as Daigo empowerment, woke up all the scholars, and asked softly: "It turned out to be Wang Gongzi, it was Xiunu's piano that was ugly, and it disturbed Gongzi Yaxing, so did you come to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" ”
"Well, Miss Axiu's piano skills are unparalleled, and the aftermath is lingering, which makes people fall in love. I'm here because I heard that someone here is deliberately embarrassing the girl and forcing you to stay here to accompany the guest! Wang was indignant when he heard this, there are still such shameless people in the world? So I brought all my friends to support the girl! ”
When Wang Tong saw the soft beauty, half of his anger disappeared, but he still didn't have a good face for those scribes.
Between the questions and answers, the literati gradually regained their composure.
If you are an ordinary person, you may still have some scruples about these 2 generations, but those here are all scholars who have passed the township test and are waiting for the examination.
The arrogant 2nd generation and the scribes of Qinggao looked down on each other. The 2nd generation is better than scruples, and the words are filthy; The scribes were better at quoting scriptures and mocking them openly.
The verbal exchange between the two sides became more and more intense. A physical altercation ensued. The followers, scholars, and servants on both sides also came to help. It's messy.
Chao Chong has been making soy sauce wine, occasionally pouring a little oil on the fire. The girl named Xiang Duxiu was inadvertently bumped and almost fell, Chao Chong reached out to hold it, and a burst of dark fragrance came to her face.
"Girl, be careful." Chao Chong protected him and continued to watch coldly.
"If you are worried about Lao Gongzi, are you not going to help?" She saw it clearly at the time, it was the heroic young man in front of her who kicked the door away, so it seems that his fists and feet must not be weak, but why did he step aside after coming in?
"In the lower nature, he is the most kind, and he can't bear to hurt others." Chao Chong was ashamed.
Xiang Duxiu let out an "oh", but revealed a strong disbelief.
Soon, after the two sides were persuaded by the people in the restaurant, Wang Tong scolded himself and refused to give up.
"Wait! My father is the prefect, my grandfather is the general, you offend me, you are doomed! ”
Everyone broke up unhappily, Wang Tong, who was originally going to take the carriage, stopped getting on the carriage, and left in a negative mood, saying: "I am depressed, cousin, walk with me and blow a cool breeze." I want to wash the dust for you, but I don't want to meet this group of blind guys. Another day, I will be a brother, and I will definitely invite you again. ”
Chao Chong and Wang Tong walked side by side, Liu Huiniang and scholar Zhimo followed, and the two carriages returned to the mansion first.
Chao Chong suddenly smiled and said, "My cousin is gracious, and my younger brother has already appreciated it." I'm just curious, aren't those scribes who cause trouble afraid of our revenge? ”
"Humph! They are all scholars who will enter Beijing to take the exam in three years, and they are on the register, and their family backgrounds are not ordinary, even my father does not dare to go too far. ”
"Cousin, if you have to deal with a few weak scholars, the younger brother has a lot of means. After all, everyone goes out there a time when they accidentally fall and forget to take the toilet chip when they go to the toilet. Chao Chong decided to show favor to this cousin and built a good relationship, and in the future, in Yingtianfu, many things that cannot be put on the table will be much more convenient.
Wang Tong was overjoyed and said: "Cousin, don't look at me being idle all day long, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the family is very strict, there is not much pocket money in my hand, and the elite soldiers in the house are even more invisible." If you want to do something, you can only rely on my fox friends. I see that my cousin has four evil men under him, commanding Ruyi, if you can give me this evil breath, cousin, I remember your favor! ”
Chao Chong waved his hand and said: "Cousin is serious, you are brothers, your business is my business!" What's more, today's conflict is also picking up the wind for me, so it is naturally incumbent on me! ”
"Okay, okay, let's go back and discuss the details carefully, so that those scholars know how good we are!"
The two talked happily, but they couldn't speak too clearly because of the pedestrians on the street. At this moment, a pair of small and rough hands were held in the shape of a bowl, and while running in small steps, he shouted: "Childe, childe, have mercy on me, give me something to eat!" ”
Well? Only then did Chao Chong and Wang Tong notice that there was a little beggar in thin and tattered clothes beside them, about seven or eight years old, with yellow muscles and fluffy hair, only those big black eyes showed that he was very energetic.
The scholar Zhimo saw a beggar harassing his son-in-law in the back, took two steps, pushed the little beggar to the ground, and said impatiently: "Go, go!" This is not Shantang, my son-in-law's status is so noble, his clothes are dirty, and you can't afford to lose if you sell it. ”
"Please, please, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for two days, and I have a younger brother who can't walk when he's hungry, so I beg my son to give me something to eat, just a little bit. The little beggar fell to the ground weeping and pleading.
Liu Huiniang has been pampered at home since she was a child, and she has never seen such a poor beggar, under the flood of sympathy, not only did she not drive the little beggar away with Zhimo, but instead came to Chao Chong's side, and called out in her heart: "Childe......"
Chao Chong's compassion sprouted, and he stretched out his hand to pull the little beggar up, and asked, "What about your parents?" ”
"When there was a drought in my hometown, my family fled, and my father and mother starved to death for me and my brother. I finally came to the city with my brother, but I escaped the famine, but I couldn't escape hunger! Woohoo......"
Wang Tong saw that Chao was impulsive and compassionate, and persuaded: "Cousin, you can help him for a while, but you can't help him for a lifetime." Why bother. ”
Chao Chong said to Liu Huiniang: "Take this child to the stall to buy a few steamed buns." ”
Liu Huiniang happily pulled the little beggar to the stall on the street, and the little beggar said obediently: "Thank you, little brother, I have very little food, can I bring two steamed buns to my brother?" He's starving......"
After they left, Chao Chong sighed and said to Wang Tong: "Cousin, these steamed buns are just bad food for you and me. But for those whose lives are in danger, it is an elixir for prolonging life. If you are not willing to help in a moment's trouble, how can you talk about a lifetime? ”
Wang Tong didn't care about this, but he was just afraid that Chao Chong would cause trouble, and said: "There is a drought in Henan this autumn, and the victims are everywhere, and you can't manage it." ”
"Uncle is the prefect of Yingtian, can't he take care of it?"
"Naturally, the victims have porridge sheds for relief, but they are all outside the city. But there are many people and less porridge, and those who are strong eat more, and those who are weak and timid eat less. This little guy must have been out of town to eat, and somehow got into the city. ”
People also pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young. In the face of hunger, there is only the law of the jungle.
If you can save one, it's one, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world!
At this moment, a group of thinly dressed children ran past them with broken bowls, and greeted the child named Tiger Head: "Tiger Head, Sister Guanyin has eaten again, and it will be ......gone when it is late."
Before the words fell, the person had run away.
"Who are they?" Liu Huiniang, who bought steamed buns with Xiaohutou, asked while telling Xiaohutou to eat slowly.
"It's the partner I live with. Last time, Sister Guanyin sent something delicious, but I didn't grab it, and this time I had my little brother's steamed buns, so I won't grab them anymore. ”
"Sister Guanyin?"
"It's a big sister who lives in the biggest and most beautiful building in front of her, like Guanyin Bodhisattva is as kind-hearted as Guanyin Bodhisattva, and as beautiful as Guanyin Bodhisattva, she sometimes gives us some delicious food, but unfortunately I'm small and can't grab it."
Oh? Chao Chong and Wang Tong looked at the location of Cuiyue Tower that the child was referring to, and couldn't help but be curious, Chao Chong said to Wang Tong: "Let's take a look?" ”
"Anyway, it's okay, go and see who can deserve the title of Guanyin in the Red Pavilion Building?"
Chao Chong, Wang Tong, scholar Zhimo, Liu Huiniang and Xiaohutou followed the traces of those children and walked to the back door of Cuiyue Building.
Although it is said to be leftovers, most of them are the meals of those powerful sons, and many chickens, ducks and fish have not touched chopsticks, which is undoubtedly a delicacy and a godsend for those hungry children.
"Cousin, we had a fight with those literati and scholars, and after the table full of food was wasted, it benefited these children, which is also a merit."
And Wang Tong stared blankly at the Xiang Duxiu who ignored the dirtiness of the children and distributed food with a smile.
Xiang Duxiu girl has always been known for her high and cold, in order to win a smile from the beauty, the rich businessmen often need to spend a lot of money, and they may not be able to get her a smile, but they don't want to, but they actually bloom the most beautiful smile here.
Wang Tong looked at it in a daze, and turned a deaf ear to Chao Chong's questioning. It wasn't until Chao Chong said it twice that he came back to his senses and said, "If I can laugh at the Pomeranians, I would like to come here to fight every day!" ”
Chao Chong broke out in a little cold sweat on his forehead, what kind of logic is this?
Soon, an obese housekeeper mother came out of the back door, glared at the girl Xiang Duxiu, and dragged her back to the building to accompany the guests.
"This dead fat woman! I'll see you once in the future! Seeing the goddess disappear in his heart, Wang Tong was furious.
After those children slowly dispersed, Chao Chong followed the child named Tiger Head to find his younger brother, and saw a group of children shivering from the cold in the dilapidated house, and even Wang Tong couldn't bear it, and told Zhimo to buy some steamed buns and bring them back.
Chao Chong has another plan in his heart, the ancestor of the Celestial Dynasty said that the child is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, the future and hope.
Almost all of Liangshan are adult men, the world view, outlook on life, and values have been fixed, and they can be considered in the long run, and some children are the best targets for brainwashing, and if they can be cultivated, they will definitely become Liangshan's diehards.
And all I need to pay is some food and clothing.
It's just that if you want to operate this matter, you need someone to preside over it, and if you are a foreigner, if you wantonly solicit children, you are afraid that people will misunderstand it as human trafficking and sue the government.
Squinting and looking at his cousin Wang Tong again, he looked like a relative, and Chao Chong thought about it.
"The fragrant girl just now is really worthy of the title of Sister Guanyin."
Wang Tong agreed: "People are more beautiful and their hearts are more beautiful, and it is rare to meet them in the world." ”
Chao Chong let out a long sigh, and said with pity on his face: "It's a pity that in the Red Mansion, I can only force my face to laugh, and I am played by the power, which is sad and lamentable!" ”
"Alas! Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, and everyone will pity the fragrance and jade! Such a good girl really shouldn't exist in this filthy place. Wang Tong sighed.
"Can't my cousin redeem her?"
"This, this, I already have a wife at home, and my grandfather will not allow me to take a woman from Qinglou as a concubine. Plus, I don't have enough money......" Wang Tong said more and more quietly.
Liu Huiniang listened in the back, and whispered to the scholar: "Your son-in-law has a wife and comes out to mess with flowers and grass, what a scumbag."
As soon as the words fell, Chao Chong smiled and said: "Since my cousin can't do anything, then my little brother has some spare money, so let's go and redeem this poor girl tomorrow." ”
When the scholar Zhimo heard this, he sneered at Liu Huiniang: "It seems that your son is not a good thing!" ”
When Wang Tong heard Chao Chong say this, he was very anxious, he knew that his cousin was a generous figure, and if he was really ransomed by his cousin, he would be unable to solve the pain of lovesickness.
"Cousin Chao Chong, you, do you have enough money?" I wanted to stop it, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't get out.
"It's not that the younger brother is boasting, my Chao family's money is hundreds of thousands, and I can call it as I like. So my cousin doesn't have to worry about money. There is only one thing, maybe ask my cousin for help. ”
"Oh, what's the matter? If I can help, just ask! ”
Chao Chong pondered for a moment and said: "If I redeem that fragrant girl, I must have a place to live, I am very unfamiliar with Tianfu, I don't know if my brother can recommend it?" ”
After all, Wang Tong is a local snake, and immediately admitted: "I have a house in the east of the city, the area is quite large, and I usually live for two days when I play, and I am often cleaned, so I can lend it to my cousin."
"In that case, thank you."
Chao Chong was not polite, bought some food for the children in the broken house, and promised to visit them again tomorrow, Chao Chong and Wang Tong walked back to the Wang family's mansion together.
Because of his depressed mood, Wang Tong was speechless all the way. Chao Chong also calculated his plan in his heart, entered through the main gate of the Wang family's mansion, and separated in the back house.
In the staggered place, there were two neatly dressed Taoists, one of whom was breezy and light, and it was the third elder of the Wang family. The other person is domineering, it is Lin Lingsu, the golden gate feather guest of the current dynasty.
Lin Lingsu looked at Chao Chong's back and muttered, "Why is he here?" ”
"Oh? The second junior brother recognizes my nephew? Wang Yu was also curious.
"What? This person turned out to be the nephew of the elder brother? But the surname Chao Mingchong? Lin Lingsu suddenly became excited.
Seeing that the second junior brother was so happy, although Wang Yu was confused, he still nodded honestly and said, "It is the son of the sister." ”
"Hahaha, really...... It's really fate, I've had a relationship before, and I don't want to see each other here. My Shenxiao Dao Sect pays attention to fate, and the senior brother doesn't have to break it to him, I think if there is fate, I and Chao Chong Xiaoyou will definitely meet again. Lin Lingsu was quite excited, as if he had picked up five hundred taels of gold on the side of the road.
"Since the second junior brother said so, I naturally want to be an adult. It's just that my junior brother invited me to be an official in the court, so I can't obey my fate. I've always liked the crane, and I don't want to go back into the cage. ”
Lin Lingsu uncharacteristically did not entangle, but quickly said goodbye and hurried away.
