Chapter 17: Seeking Officials (1)
Dong Yan hasn't woken up yet, but his mind is very clear.
walked slowly with Dong Yu, but in his heart he was thinking about what happened last night.
It's a shame that I didn't study well in junior high school, so I can't remember exactly what year the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. In fact, even if Dong Li remembers it, what can he do? What is learned in the textbooks is the number of years in the Common Era, and in this era, most of them are calculated by the number of years. During the Lingdi period, the era name changed very frequently, and even the common people couldn't figure it out.
It's three years of light and harmony, how long is it until the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
The corner of his eye inadvertently swept over the eldest sister Dong Yu beside him, Dong Yu had a flash of inspiration, and asked innocently: "Eldest sister, what do you think of Taiping Dao?" And that Zhang Jiao, what kind of person do you think this is? What is the nature of the heart? β
Dong Tie and Dong E slowed down very cleverly in order to leave enough space for the two siblings to talk.
In the middle of spring, after a night of fighting, Lintao City was exceptionally quiet, the vendors on the street were even more gone, and the doors of many shops were tightly closed.
Dong Yu also seemed to have something on his mind, and when he heard Dong Li's question, he smiled slightly and said, "Ugly, are you taking the school sister?" β
"Don't dare!"
"That horn is also a very ambitious person, but since ancient times, he has never heard of such a method used by him. Lao Tzu has clouds, scattering water with charms, and gathering the hearts of the people...... reminds me of the sentence: humble heart, solid belly; Weak ambition, strong bones. If I judge this person, I should be a hero. If it is not removed as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Han family will be destroyed by its hands. β
Dong Li was even more surprised by this eldest sister who had only known each other for twenty days.
I have to say that the eldest sister is right. On the surface, the Han dynasty was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others, but in fact, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the foundation of the Han dynasty has become extremely fragile. Dong Zhuo and others just took advantage of the trend. Therefore, if you want to say that the culprit of the destruction of the Han family, one is the imperial court, and the other is Zhang Jiao.
Suddenly there was a hint of doubt, did no one see the hidden danger in this?
Glancing at Dong Yu with a side face, Dong Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Eldest sister, what do you say will happen if you kill Zhang Jiao?" β
In Dong Li's heart, he still wanted to avoid that disaster.
As he thought, without Zhang Jiao, there would be no Yellow Turban Rebellion. Without the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the foundation of the Han Dynasty would not have been shaken; If the foundation of the Han Dynasty is not shaken, then Dong Zhuo will not enter Beijing, and if Dong Zhuo does not enter Beijing, won't the family be safe?
This is a very naΓ―ve idea, but even Dong Li, who has memories of his previous life, still harbors this kind of dream.
Dong Yu smiled, "Ugly, sometimes I think you are very mature, like an adult; But sometimes, you're really a kid...... Even if Zhang Jiao is killed, Wang Jiao and Li Jiao will appear in the future. If the dynasty is sluggish, there will always be characters who come out at the right time. When the time comes, the world will be in chaos...... However, these words are limited to the conversation between you and me. β
Dong Yu sighed, knowing that what Dong Yu said was right.
At this time, the group came to the fork in the road again. On one side is in the direction of Kaneshiro, and on the other side is the ranch.
Dong Yu suddenly reined in his horse and looked in the direction of Jincheng. There was a mist in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Big sister!"
"Ah Chou, you said that if there is no difference between Qiang and Han in the world, everyone doesn't have to fight for food, for water and grass, and live with Meimei, how good it is."
I don't understand why the eldest sister sighed like this, but Dong Yan understands that her sister also has unspeakable bitterness in her heart.
If you think about it carefully, it is a little strange that you have never been home for ten years after being married, and suddenly appear in Lintao.
Dong Li always felt that her sister was not going home this time to simply visit her parents, but to have something else important.
"Eldest sister, ...... you go home this time?"
Dong Yu waved his hand and interrupted Dong Li's questioning, "When I was a child, my father loved me very much. At that time, he was not an official, and he was a well-known hero within a radius of hundreds of miles. I always rode on his horse and followed him everywhere. When you encounter injustices, take care of them. Sometimes I would even be chased and killed, and my father would run away with me all day. β
It can be seen that when Dong Yu was young, he was very loved by Dong Zhuo.
It's just that Dong Yan doesn't understand, why did the eldest sister suddenly talk about these things?
"I married Uncle Beigong, and I realized how complicated things in this world are. Your brother-in-law is a good man, but too honest...... His brother stared at his seat all day, but he didn't know it. The Qiang people have been very fierce in recent years, and there is a faint trend of instability. Even the position of your brother-in-law's leader is being spied on by others. β
"Then, kill them!"
"Ugly, there are some things in this world that can be explained clearly without fighting and killing. I came back with your brother-in-law this time, and to put it bluntly, I wanted to find a career for him. He was a Qiang man and was not accepted by the Han people of the Central Plains. Coupled with his gentle temperament, the Qiang people under his command are also ready to move. I want to ask for an official position for your brother-in-law through my father. Don't ask for anything, at least it is a deterrent to those Qiang people, and by the way, you can also cut off some people's thoughts and seek stability. β
What my sister said was not very clear, but Dong Li could feel that my sister's heart was actually very tired.
He asked, "Can the father agree?" β
"I guess so...... Your brother-in-law has now arrived in Hedong, and I believe he has explained the situation. With his father's means, it is not difficult to ask for an official position for your brother-in-law. I'm still a little worried, though. My mother told me that my father's fame in the past two years was too strong, and he wanted to be recognized by the family. If I help your brother-in-law......"
Dong Yu smiled bitterly, with a lot of helplessness.
"He'll agree."
Dong Yan didn't know how to comfort his sister, so he had to say it softly.
This sentence is very unconfident. Even he didn't know how much comfort he could bring to his sister.
But Dong Yu smiled, and her beautiful face was filled with a brilliant brilliance, "Ugly, don't worry about my sister." Even if your brother-in-law can't ask for an official, there is still a sister to help him. Besides, even if my sister doesn't work, isn't there still an ugly? β
Dong Yan nodded vigorously, "I will definitely help my sister!" β
"I knew it!"
The smile on Dong Yu's face became even brighter.
Who can be trusted the most in this world is undoubtedly his family. This is also the principle that grandma has always taught Dong Li: the family is our root, and without the family, we can only become a rootless wanderer in this world.
