Chapter 439: Li Jiancheng Travels to Qilu, Hebei (2)
After Li Jiancheng left Zhaozhou, he continued to move forward and came to Qingzhou, accompanied by Wei Zhiqian, the assassin of Qingzhou, came to the palace prepared for Li Jiancheng by the Lu family in Qingyang. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the magnificent palace, Li Jiancheng frowned:
"Master Wei, isn't it too luxurious here?" Wei Zhiqian smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not luxurious, this is just a separate courtyard of the original Qingyang Lu family, the place is quiet and elegant, the environment is quite elegant, the furnishings inside are all Qingyang Lu family, Boling Cui family and Changle Xue family, there is no people's fat and people's ointment, please rest assured." Boling, Cui, and Changle, Xue, and Wei Zhiqian also said on the side:
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince, these are all presented by us, please don't mind His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince, these are all presented by us, please don't mind His Royal Highness the Prince. Looking at the flattering faces of the Boling Cui clan and the Changle Xue clan, Li Jiancheng knew that there was no people's fat and people's ointment, and it was nice to say, Liu Heimin thought that Dou Jiande raised troops in the name of collecting and scraping everywhere, and because there was no military food and materials, he used the principle of war to feed the war, looting everywhere, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were also burning and killing everywhere on the road to counterinsurgency, and the Qilu Shandong and Hebei areas were starving everywhere, Li Jiancheng came all the way, what he saw and heard, everywhere was a desolate and depressed scene, not to mention the days of ordinary people, It is the life of the top-level clan officials living in the north area of Qilu River, and it is not easy, at the beginning, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, the two people of the demon king, but the Boling Cui clan and the Changle Xue clan and the Qingyang Lu clan have caused a lot of harm, not to mention that the ancestral industry has been robbed, that is, the ancestral graves have been dug up, otherwise, the Boling Cui clan and the Changle Xue clan and the Qingyang Lu clan will not take a large group of in-law officials to cry Renshou Palace. Of course, when these clan officials return to their own territory, they will definitely try their best to recover all the wealth and property they had lost before, and the tenants under them will definitely be exploited more sharply. When Li Jiancheng thought of this, he didn't want to live in it anymore - on the one hand, Li Jiancheng paid tribute to Luo Shixin in Youzhou, which can be said to be a nostalgia for the old love and paid tribute to Li Chun in Zhaozhou; Writing a tombstone for Li Chun is also to appreciate Li Chun's talents, and the most important thing is that Li Chun and Luo Shixin are both from poor backgrounds and do not have the support of deep family heritage. And if you enter the palace, it won't work, and when Li Yuan is charged with colluding with the forces of the world and forming a party for personal gain, this board will not be light! On the other hand, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to increase the burden on the tenants under these noble families. Of course, Li Jiancheng would not have said these words. Li Jiancheng bowed his hand to the people present:
"The good intentions of all the adults, this palace really understands it, but this palace has been tired all the way, accustomed to sleeping in the open air, and the guards of this palace have already set up a camp for this palace, so they will not go in. Ladies and gentlemen, Hongu is really tired, so please forgive me. The Boling Cui clan, the Changle Xue clan, the Qingyang Lu clan and other clansmen and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Wei Zhiqian were all a little embarrassed, everyone looked at each other, and immediately complained to each other.
"Humph! Now it's all right. We worked hard to get out the only good things we had at home, but people didn't appreciate it at all, okay, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and finally we didn't get kicked. ”
"You also said that with your miscellaneous furniture, I will be miserable, and the antiques that I have saved with great difficulty, the Shang Ding, and the coral screen, are all finished."
"Humph! So what? I have also prepared a few Jiangnan people for His Royal Highness the Prince, all of whom have not budded, I have invited the pianists and musicians of the Western Regions to train for many days, and I am ready to present them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time. The Boling Cui clan, the Changle Xue clan, the Qingyang Lu clan and other clansmen complained to each other, and immediately sent their anger to Wei Zhiqian:
"Lord Wei, it's all you, why didn't you inquire clearly before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down, now it's okay, our efforts are all wasted." …… Wei Zhiqian didn't dare to reply, because in front of him were a group of local snakes, if he said a word, then Wei Zhiqian knew that his decree would definitely not go out of the Assassin's Mansion. Just when Wei Zhiqian was embarrassed, a guard from Gundam next to Li Jiancheng came to the Boling Cui Clan, the Changle Xue Clan, the Qingyang Lu Clan and other clansmen, as well as the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Wei Zhiqian:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a decree to spread the word that Wei Zhiqian, the assassin of Qingzhou, will enter the camp to meet him." As soon as the guard's words fell, the Boling Cui clan, the Changle Xue clan, the Qingyang Lu clan and other clansmen looked at Wei Zhiqian, the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Wei Zhiqian's eyes immediately changed, and Wei Zhiqian tidied up his clothes. He followed the guard towards the camp.
"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what his instructions are for summoning Wechen!" Li Jiancheng turned his back to Wei Zhiqian:
"Master Wei, it's not easy to be an official here!"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, although this place is the land of Qilu and the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, there are many families here, so it is not easy to issue a decree!" Wei Zhiqian originally wanted to hide it, but when he heard Li Jiancheng say that it was not easy to be an official here, he naturally didn't dare to hide it. Li Jiancheng nodded.
"Lord Wei, pass the decree for the palace, and say that the palace is going to go to Lu Sidao's tomb tomorrow to pay respects, and let the people of the Lu family in Qingyang prepare for the palace. Everything has to be approved by you. Wei Zhiqian heard Li Jiancheng's order, first paused for a moment, and then understood that Li Jiancheng wanted to make himself prestigious. Wei Zhiqian immediately thanked Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen! Wei Chen ......" Wei Zhiqian was moved to tears, and he couldn't cry. Li Jiancheng knew through the Qilin Secret Guard that this Wei Zhiqian was born in the Jingzhao Wei family, but he was born in the family, and he was not very popular in the family on weekdays, otherwise he would not be put in Qingzhou, a xenophobic place, but he was quite cautious and not greedy for money, and a trace of pity rose in Li Jiancheng's heart. Li Jiancheng patted Wei Zhiqian on the shoulder:
"Master Wei, do a good job!" When Wei Zhiqian left, Li Jiancheng instructed the guards again:
"Tell Lord Xu Jingzong to closely monitor all the movements of Wei Zhiqian and the Qingzhou clan, and report back immediately if there is anything." When Wei Zhiqian walked out of Li Jiancheng's camp tent, the Boling Cui clan, the Changle Xue clan, the Qingyang Lu clan and other clansmen immediately surrounded him and asked Wei Zhiqian:
"Ahh Lord Wei, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command? ”
"Yes! Lord Wei, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say? Wei Zhiqian looked at the Boling Cui clan, the Changle Xue clan, the Qingyang Lu clan and other clansmen, and said in his heart-Hmph! This group of snobs, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered it, I have to do it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a decree, tomorrow I will go to the Lu family for the purpose of paying tribute to Lu Sidao, the talented son of Qilu, go and prepare." As soon as the clansmen of the Lu family heard Wei Zhiqian say this, they immediately dispersed and prepared to go, Wei Zhiqian looked at the people of the Boling Cui clan and the Changle Xue clan, and said again:
"Tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to the Lu family's cemetery, and this official still has a lot of official business to do, so he won't stay here longer." Seeing this scene, the people of the Boling Cui clan and the Changle Xue clan originally wanted to say something to Wei Zhiqian, but when they saw Wei Zhiqian's face, they all closed their mouths one by one and slowly dispersed. Early the next morning, Li Jiancheng wore plain clothes and came to Lu's cemetery. Lu Situ, the head of the Lu family in Qingzhou, walked in front of Li Jiancheng:
"Weichen Lu Situ to see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come today, it is an honor for the ministers, His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" Lu Sidao's cemetery is located in the ancestral tomb of the Lu family, the ancestral tomb of the Lu family was originally buried with the bloodline of the Lu family, and Lu Sidao was originally the bloodline of the Lu family in Qingyang, which should not have been buried in the ancestral tomb, but should have been buried in Fanyang, but because of Lu Sidao's name, so Lu Guangyuan, the patriarch of the Lu family at that time, personally ran to Chang'an after Lu Sidao's death, welcomed Lu Sidao's coffin back to Qingzhou, and buried it in the ancestral tomb of the Lu family. The area of Lu Sidao's tomb is relatively small compared to Luo Shixin's, but it looks very quiet, especially on a stone tablet in front of Lu Sidao's tomb, which is carved with Lu Sidao's famous work - "From the Army".
Shuo Fangfeng fire shines on Ganquan, and Chang'an will fly out of Qilian.
The son of the rhino canal jade sword, a young man with a white horse and a golden bondage.
Pingming Yanyue Tun right land, twilight fish Li chase the left sage.
The stone tiger in the valley is held by the arrow, and the golden people on the mountain have sacrificed to the sky.
The end of the world is endless, and the thistle gate is three thousand miles.
Seeing the yellow sand of Maling, looking at the clouds of Longcheng at night.
The strange trees in the court have been climbed, and the people recruited from outside the Cyprus have not returned.
At the beginning of the snowfall, outside the Tianshan Mountains, the floating clouds went straight up to the five plains.
Guanshan is insurmountable, who can sit on Fang Feiyue?
The flowing water broke people's intestines, and the old ice returned to hurt the horse's bones.
The side garden is different from the flowers, and the winter hail and autumn frost and spring do not stop.
The long wind Xiao Xiao crossed the water, and the wild geese reflected the sky again and again.
From the military march, the military march thousands of miles out of the dragon court,
Shan Yu Weiqiao has been worshiped now, where is the general looking for fame!
Li Jiancheng looked at this stone stele, this poem is a seven-word song style, and the poem harmoniously blends the atmosphere of slaughter outside the plug with the nostalgia of people and the feelings of thinking about women's resentment. The artistic conception is beautiful, the language is clear and fluent, and the duality is neat and harmonious. Li Jiancheng recalled Lu Sidao's life -- Lu Sidao spent most of his life working in the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. This special experience of his may be why he wrote the interpretation of "From the Army". As a conscientious feudal bureaucrat and literati, he should realistically reflect the people's sad desire to pray for peace and live in peace, but he could not and did not dare to ridicule the war at that time, and could only express his hope and wish for peace and stability by sketching and appreciating the border war in the Han Dynasty. He hoped that the national reconciliation of the Han Dynasty would have a long history, and that the tragedy of the general's invitation to merit and warlike would not happen again. Wanting peace instead of war, stability and not turmoil has become the main theme of the poet's "From the Army". It is no wonder that some poetry reviews in the past have called "From the Army" an anti-war poem. Lu Situ looked at Li Jiancheng and said to Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this poem is the famous work of my cousin Lu Sidao, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes this poem, I have a rubbing of this stone tablet there, but I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince......" Li Jiancheng smiled:
"No need, Bengong likes this poem, but this rubbing, Bengong will let his subordinates arrange it."
