Chapter 551: The Dust of History (Late Night Long Biography Asking for Subscription)

This old man is almost old, but he is in good spirits, and he does not look old at all. (,)

Although the gaze is a little cloudy most of the time, the occasional ray of light that is revealed makes people have to face it.

"Drink?" Lu Heng pointed to the wine jug and tilted his head and asked.

"Drink some!" The old man laughed, stroked his beard and nodded.

Of course, I want to drink it myself. The old man picked up the wine jug, pressed the lid of the wine jug with his left hand, filled the cup for Lu Heng very elegantly, and then poured himself another glass.

After putting down the flask, the old man took out a pair of jade-white ivory chopsticks from his sleeve, pinched them in his hand, knocked them on the table, and then picked up a piece of chicken wings from the plate and put it in his mouth.

Picked up the broken porcelain bowl with the wine, picked it up, and took a sip. The old man frowned, endured the wine, and after taking a long breath, he praised: "What a strong wine!" ”

Lu Heng smiled, nodded and said, "I didn't dare to drink it, I always wanted to wait for someone to try it!" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed. The white beard is flying, quite imposing.

The voice is high, but not annoying. The smile is like the toughness of the Gobi Desert, which has been eroded by the wind for thousands of years.

The Yanyunwei who sat down just turned their heads curiously, looked at the old man who was almost old, and speculated about his identity in their hearts.

Along the way, there are very few people who can naturally sit at the same table with Childe, and it seems that this is the first one.

The old man put down his chopsticks. straightened the purple robe on his body, then looked at Lu Heng, and said lightly: "Old decay An Yun, stabilize the country!" ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he turned his head, looked at him, nodded and smiled: "Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" ”

"Luckily!" After the two glanced at each other, Qi Qi smiled and said.

After the two introduced themselves, each waited for the other to ask first. But subtly, both fell silent.

For a while, the atmosphere in the field was strange and awkward.

There was something in his heart, and he sat there restlessly after waiting here for many days. But Lu Heng looked extremely comfortable.

I was very interested in laughing and playing with Su Qianqian on the side, and I was very busy.

After sitting like this for a while, An Dingguo couldn't help the anxiety in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Young age, but so calm. Lu Heng and Lu Yongzheng, it really deserves its reputation! ”

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and patted Su Qianqian's little hand, turned his head, and looked at An Dingguodao: "If you are alone, you dare to come to this outside Tokyo City to intercept the emperor of the dynasty, and the head of the family is not an ordinary person!" ”

An Dingguo smiled and sighed: "It's about the survival of An Jia, and it's worth taking this risk." ”

Lu Heng smiled and instructed Xiao Er to take down the wine and replace it with a pot of fragrant tea. After Xiao Erlang filled the teacup, Lu Heng waved his hand and let him go down.

"Besides, if it weren't for the old man coming in person, it would be difficult to show the sincerity of the An family!" After An Dingguo finished speaking, he fell into silence for a while.

The sun gradually rose, and the faint layer of fog floating in the city finally dissipated.

The street, which was still extremely quiet just now, was already full of people and hustle and bustle.

After An Dingguo took a sip of tea, he turned his head and looked at Lu Heng seriously: "Emperor, do you know the history of the An family?" ”

Lu Heng smiled and didn't answer, just took a sip of tea and quietly waited for An Dingguo to continue.

Three hundred years ago, Wu Zetian, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, replaced the Li family as emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou. In the following ten years, in order to stabilize the rule of the Great Zhou, Wu Zetian brutally strangled the Li family. However, at that time, Di Renjie and Zhang Khan Zhi, who were sympathetic to the Li family, and other famous ministers secretly took care of the descendants of the Li family, and under the protection of the two, the Li royal family escaped. ,

However, after the death of the two ministers Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, Wu Zetian died. Princess Taiping was in charge of the country and took charge of the court. During the period of Princess Taiping, the imperial court changed the style of turning a blind eye to the Li orphans in the late Wu Zetian period, and adopted more tough and cruel methods, and wantonly searched and persecuted the Li family across the country. Later, the people of the Li family, in order to avoid this **, gradually withdrew from the Central Plains. Scattered all over the country. Or endure for a hundred years and rebel. Or change their faces, abandon the surname Li, and become a wealthy family. Of course, there are also those who go to the Western Regions, survive in the cracks, and eventually become a prince. Settle down is one of them.

Three hundred years, the vicissitudes of life. Change the history of Lu Heng's memory in his previous life. After the Tang Dynasty, it was a history of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and there were constant disputes. In the span of three hundred years, dynasties have changed over several generations. Like a passing cloud, there are few that can be remembered.

Just like now, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have long forgotten the prosperity of Zhenguan back then. The only things that can be heard are the legends and stories that have been passed down among the folk.

But the crowd just listened, and then they forgot about it. For them, life is good now. can eat enough and dress warmly, why bother to recall the ethereal prosperity of three hundred years ago and worry about the ancients.

An Dingguo turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and smiled helplessly: "So, the old man's real name should be Li Dingguo!" ”

"You have been entrenched in the Western Regions, trying to fight against the Great Zhou, are you thinking that one day, you will return to the Central Plains and rule the world?" Lu Heng smiled and asked casually, his voice without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"What's not to do?" Seeing that Lu Heng didn't seem to be sympathetic to the An family's plight, he was very indifferent. An Dingguo was a little annoyed.

"Yes, yes!" Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "But, it's a little naΓ―ve!" ”

"The Li family is the orthodoxy of this world!" An Dingguo looked at Lu Heng seriously, and said in a deep voice: "We have been working hard to reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and benefit the world, why is it naΓ―ve?" ”。

When Lu Heng heard this, he smiled and did not answer.

"Why, you don't believe me?" An Dingguo asked relentlessly.

"If you want to say that you want to regain control of the dynasty and seize the gilded throne, I believe it!" Lu Heng looked at An Dingguo and pouted: "But if you say that you want to benefit the people of the world." Do you believe this? ”

"I ......" An Dingguo was very annoyed in his heart, and was asked by Lu Heng, so he held his breath in his stomach and almost didn't come up.

"Look, you don't believe it yourself!" Lu Heng chuckled, shook his head and said.

"No, I believe it!" An Dingguo slapped the table, stood up emotionally, and shouted with a red face.

"Tell me, then, how are you going to benefit the people?" Lu Heng is not in a hurry, the stew has to be simmered, and the meat of a stubborn donkey like An Dingguo needs to be patient.

"Return to the Zhenguan era and educate the people with the policies of that era!" An Dingguo has thought about this question for decades, and when he says it now, he has a furrow in his chest and an extraordinary momentum.

Lu Heng shook his head and said disappointedly: "You are called perverse, and it is not for the benefit of the world at all!" ”

Seeing that An Dingguo blushed and wanted to argue, Lu Heng waved his hand and said lightly: "Regardless of the dispute, wolf smoke is everywhere. People have been displaced and devastated. Let's just say that the policy of Zhenguan prosperity was created back then. It's not suitable for today's society! ”

"The Great Zhou Dynasty has gone through a hundred years, and there have been countless hardships during this period. In the middle, he experienced the rebellion of the people and the rebellion of the eunuchs. There is also partisan strife. Over the past three hundred years, in the midst of these chaotic trials, the political, economic and cultural policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty have also changed, and now, the world tends to be stable. It is enough to prove that the current policy is more popular with the people. Can you admit that? Lu Heng turned his head, stared at An Dingguo, and asked lightly.

An Dingguo thought about it, snorted, and did not refute.

"Take the army as an example, during the Zhenguan period, the government military system was extremely popular. But that was based on the long-term war, and the soldiers naturally had unusual combat effectiveness. But later, in the late Zhenguan period, the Tang army's expeditions to Goryeo failed repeatedly. You must know this better than anyone else. Lu Heng took a sip of tea and asked lightly: "Although it is said that the failure of the expedition to Goryeo was due to Emperor Taizong's personal reasons, the low combat effectiveness of the government soldiers cannot be ignored!" Today's Great Zhou army is already a semi-professional army. Everyone can see the improvement in combat effectiveness. This battle with the Turks is the best example! This is much stronger than the ambush system in the Zhenguan period! ”

An Dingguo lowered his head and thought deeply.

Subsequently, Lu Heng analyzed An Dingguo from several aspects such as economy, culture, and even the refinement of the imperial examination system.

After saying that, Lu Heng turned his head and joked with Su Qianqian to himself.

Leaving An Dingguo alone, he sat there alone, contemplating his brows.

After a while, An Dingguo smiled bitterly.

With a long sigh, he said: "The emperor is really knowledgeable and eloquent. Old decay admire! ”

An Dingguo raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said, "Actually, the old man came here this time, and this is just one of the things. The other thing is that the old man took the liberty to ask, how does Lord Lu think of the future direction of the imperial court? ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he turned his head and looked at An Dingguo with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Well, to put it bluntly, it was after the crown prince ascended the throne. What is Master Lu going to do with my home? An Dingguo stared at Lu Heng seriously, and asked word by word: "Is it to kill, is it to stay?" ”

Lu Heng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have asked me this question." Instead, ask yourself. You ask the imperial court what to do with the An family. Why don't you ask how you can handle yourself when you settle down! ”

An Dingguo lowered his head and thought for a long time.

In the end, the old man said softly with a wry smile on his face: "Unwilling! ”

"National reunification is the trend of the times!" Lu Heng poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said lightly. Then, Lu Heng smiled, pointed to the west casually and said, "Unless, you lead the An family out of here and go to the west?" As you must know, there is a wider world in the west than the Great Zhou! ”

"It's just a barbarian!" An Dingguo thought of the blue-eyed humans who were still wearing animal fur, and snorted disdainfully.

"Really?" Lu Heng looked at An Dingguo with a smile and quipped: "The women in those places are very sexy...... Oh!! ”

As he spoke, the soft meat on his waist was pinched by the vinegared Su Qianqian, and Lu Heng suddenly gasped.

Turning his head and looking at Su Qianqian's smiling look, Lu Heng spread out his hand with an innocent face.
