Chapter 278: Leaving a Name After Death
Ziyang Zhenren said with a smile: "As long as you are worthy of your conscience, you will have descendants to judge the merits and demerits." Let's go, we've already met, maybe I'll come back to mourn him. A generation of loyal ministers will eventually come to an end. ”
The two left Zhang's house.
When it got dark, people in the palace came to report that Zhang Jiazhen had already driven west. Li Longji wept bitterly and announced the suspension of the three-day court meeting.
Although he was already prepared in his heart, Liu Hao was still sad in his heart. He lost a mentor who was very important to him, and Datang also lost the best official who was most considerate of the people. When he was dying, he was talking about being kind to the people, and he didn't say a word about taking care of his son in officialdom. This is an old man with a clear distinction between public and private, and he is so stubborn and cute. As a prime minister, he did not run the family property, and although he was a high-ranking official, he did not leave anything after his death except for a few mansions.
Baguio got the news and sat next to Liu Hao and sighed faintly: "People die and die, and wealth is in the sky." Since Zhang Gong has left safely and steadily, it can be regarded as a complete merit, Lang Jun can't think about it, who in the world will not die? ”
Liu Hao nodded: "I know, but I'm just sad." When he was seriously ill, he couldn't do anything, and he was poisoned and realized it later. Perhaps this is what I owe to him, so that he may beat me before he leaves, so that I should be kind to the people. ”
Baguio took Liu Hao's arm and said: "Don't think so, Zhang Gong just thinks that Lang Jun is unlimited in the future, so he will beat Lang Jun in advance, lest Lang Jun forget the root of being an official in the future." ”
Lying in Baguio's arms: "Wife, I'm so tired." I'll sleep in your room tonight. Jingjing is gone, Lilac is gone, and a good home has become broken. Now when I see the scene of life and death, I feel sad, for fear that one day you will all leave me. ”
Baguio patted Liu Hao on the back and said, "What Langjun, even if everyone leaves you, the slave family will not leave you." The song you sang to the slave family at the beginning still remembers it. Maybe holding hands may not be easy to walk in the previous life, maybe with the road of companionship, this life will be busier. So holding hands, we have to walk together in the next life, so with the road of companionship, there is no time to turn back. Lang Jun, you and I hold hands, we are destined not to be separated in this life, the slave family is thick-skinned, and you can't drive it away. ”
Liu Hao rubbed on Baguio's plump thighs: "If you dare to leave, I will beat your ass, none of you can leave me, I promised to take you to see the end of the cape, and I will definitely do it." Don't doubt my abilities. This official, maybe I will be able to step down when I am thirty years old, and then I will be by your side for the rest of the decades. Enjoy the famous mountains and rivers and enjoy the joy of family. ”
Early the next morning, Liu Hao said to Baguio and the others: "Later, I will go to heaven and earth and write a song for Zhang Gong to warn these people who are now officials." ”
Baguio nodded: "Even if Lang Jun goes, the slave sisters will not go over to disturb." ”
Now Xiao Shiyilang doesn't write much books, he holds the guitar every day and messes with that group of young students, occasionally goes to find Xiuxiu, and lives a good life.
When Liu Hao came, Xiao Shiyi Lang was practicing the piano in the backyard. Liu Hao said directly: "Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Gong, I went to the west of the crane last night. ”
When Xiao Shiyi Lang heard this, he asked uncertainly, "What Zhicai said is true?" I haven't heard the news yet. A good person, just left. ”
Liu Hao nodded: "Yes, I thought he would survive this year, but he left so suddenly." Thinking that people can't leave nothing behind when they die, I wrote a song, you can sing it, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty know what kind of person Zhang Gong is. ”
When Xiao Shiyilang heard this, he immediately said: "Zhicai quickly teach me, while Zhang Gong has not yet come out of the funeral, this song will be spread as soon as possible." ”
Liu Hao nodded, he said I'll sing it first, and I'll write the lyrics to you later.
Liu Hao found the Xiqin that Li Bai brought over, which is a musical instrument similar to the erhu. He sang while playing Xi Qin:
There are rods and scales between heaven and earth, and the stones are the common people.
The scale pole picks the country and babbles, you are the star of the fixation.
What is public and what is clear, what is treacherous and what is loyalty.
Laughing, scolding, and angry, people are stubborn.
……
This "Qing Official Ballad" estimates that there are almost no people of Liu Hao's generation who can't sing it in later generations, this is the theme song in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", but there is a sentence in it "People don't bow when they bend their backs" is completely unsuitable for Zhang Jiazhen. This old man is not hunched over when he is old. Liu Hao's self-assertion was replaced by "people are stubborn but upright".
After Liu Hao finished singing, Xiao Shiyi Lang said eagerly: "A good song is completely tailor-made for Zhang Gong." Zhicai quickly taught him to be a brother, and within three days, he must let the people of the city know this song, and at the same time, he also knows that there is a good official named Zhang Jiazhen. ”
Liu Hao nodded, this is the effect he wants. The song came out of his mouth, and no matter what, there would be people who were dissatisfied. But Xiao Shiyi Lang is fine, first of all, he is not a person in officialdom, and those rules are useless to Xiao Shi Lang. Interfere with his business, the business is Liu Hao's, and Xiao Shiyi Lang is just a shopkeeper. Besides, the royal gold medal on the plaque on the door of heaven and earth is not vegetarian. At that time, someone was making trouble in heaven and earth, Xiao Shiyi Lang took the gold medal and killed the troublemaker directly, and no one held Xiao Shiyi Lang accountable afterwards. Don't forget, this product also has an uncle who is the prime minister.
After the lyrics were written, Liu Hao sighed in his heart, there was only so much he could help the Zhang family. In the future, Zhang Jiazhen's son can go depends on their creation. At least in Liu Hao's opinion, Li Longji will not treat Zhang Jiazhen's family badly. However, the gentleman's heart is unpredictable, and Liu Hao can only press the people and add a certain amount of weight to Zhang Jiazhen's heart in Li Longji's heart.
After doing this, Liu Hao took a few entourages and went to Zhang's house to offer condolences on behalf of the military academy.
The Zhang family has hung white lanterns, white cloths are hung on the door, and the descendants of the Zhang family are all wearing filial piety clothes, busy preparing sacrifices and entertaining court officials who came to mourn in the courtyard.
When Liu Hao arrived, several ministers of the DPRK and China had already arrived. Zhang Shuo and Xiao Song sat on the side and sighed, recalling their past with Zhang Jiazhen. At the beginning, Zhang Jiazhen was originally recommended by Zhang Shuo, but Zhang said that this person was sleek, and Zhang Jiazhen, who was inflexible, did not like each other, so they began to have a bad relationship. However, since Zhang Jiazhen was seriously ill, the official who cared most about Zhang Jiazhen was Zhang Shuo. Liu Hao can't tell the relationship between the two until now, and it is estimated that few people in the DPRK and China can say it clearly.
Li Hong also arrived, and he came on behalf of Li Longji, who had fallen ill. Dressed in the prince's costume, Li Hong looked extraordinary, but now Li Hong was sitting on the side, his eyes were red. At the beginning, Zhang Jiazhen was particularly optimistic about him, and she didn't even see him. Later, under Liu Hao's operation, Zhang Jiazhen accepted Li Hong, and then gave Li Hong a few words.
That's enough, at least Zhang Jiazhen's faction in the court wants to support Li Hong. Behind every minister in the DPRK and the Central Committee, there are officials at all levels who are supporting, so among the high-level officials, winning over a high-ranking official is actually winning over a force. And pushing Li Hong to the top is Zhang Jiazhen's last shine.
Liu Hao greeted everyone, and then went to the mourning hall to salute.
When Zhang Jiazhen's sons heard that Liu Hao was coming on behalf of the military academy, they hurriedly got up to greet Liu Hao after saluting. But now there is nothing to say about the reverse of the past, nothing more than the words of mourning and change.
When Liu Hao returned to the side hall where Zhang said they were staying, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the people that Zhang Gong brought with him before?" ”
Zhang Shuo smiled: "People go to tea and cool, how many people remember Zhang Jiazhen now?" The people he brought back then, not to mention the officials in Luoyang City, should know, but few people he brought came, and a few came from the center, but they also saluted and said goodbye in a hurry, which was simply a formality. Kindness and the like, the human clan forgets it quickly. ”
Xiao Song nodded: "Don't mind Zhicai, it's normal for people." Who would talk about someone else's good life? By the way, don't you have any ideas over there in Jinyang? ”
Liu Hao sat next to them, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will be unhappy to meddle again." And now I should keep a low profile, I don't even mention my seat when I see Your Majesty, and now I only reward it. ”
Xiao Song is a famous political tumbler in history, so he naturally has his way of being an official. He nodded and said, "You are doing the right thing, you must always remember that you can treat your job as your own family business, but you must not point fingers at everything as your own business." If you should shut up, you have to shut up, and you have to be stunned. ”
Liu Hao arched his hand towards Xiao Song and said, "Thank you Xiao Xiangti." ”
Zhang Shuo also said: "It's okay to be low-key, but sometimes you have to show your edge, otherwise others will think you are a soft persimmon." It is said that the situation in Jinyang has now stabilized, and the old general will turn around in a few days. When the military school expands again, you have to prepare in advance, so don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. Now that the military academy has a high status, many people want to take up a post in the military academy, and this is the test for you and the old general. ”
Liu Hao smiled: "This matter has already been calculated, Zhang Xiang doesn't have to worry." At that time, no matter who it is, they will have to pass the assessment of the military academy before they can enter. Otherwise, even if you find Your Majesty, it will be useless. And this time for recruitment, we are ready to implement a credit system. The descendants of some martyrs will naturally have a certain inclination, but on the whole, they still have good physical fitness and are loyal. Some playboys still forget it, even if they can't get past the three-month training period, they will still send him away. ”
Li Hong was stunned when he heard this: "In this way, if you want to study in a military school in the future, you can't do it?" ”
Liu Hao smiled: "You are different, you are the prince, and going to the military academy is also an act of honor." Doing so will only give the military academy and you extra points, and let the people praise it, and it won't hurt anything. On the grassland, it may soon start to be noisy, and then you will follow to mix the military skills. ”
