Being able to get a glimpse of the true face of the prison of the Criminal Department in the Tang and Song dynasties was an opportunity that Cheng Yuan couldn't ask for, but this time he was really not in the mood to visit this place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ye behind him was still wearing the ghost mask of Wu Desi, while Cheng Yuan looked at the person in front of him with a blank face. Both of them were sitting in an iron prison, and Liu Yanseng was struggling with something in his mouth. It was just when he scolded Cheng Yuan like crazy, Li Ye was afraid that Cheng Yuan would be frightened by his threatening words and changed his mind, so he simply asked people to block Liu Shuai's mouth.

Li Ye saw that Cheng Yuan had been looking at the silent Hu Luan in a daze, and he groaned slightly and said lightly: "Cheng Xiaogongzi, do you believe my words?" ”

He took off his mask again, and Chengyuan looked back at Li Ye again.

The ancients attached great importance to physiognomy, and it should be said that if they saw a person with a good appearance and a wonderful figure, then they would feel that this person was not morally bad......

Chengyuan nodded: "Looking at your appearance, it is indeed good." The gentleman's face is like spring, his lips are like a fierce pill, his teeth are like Qi Bei, and his sound is the same as Huang Zhong, where is he like a liar? ”

Li Ye has always attached great importance to his appearance, and he is very happy to hear such praise. He didn't know that he didn't know that the words just now were actually to describe Zhan's Yanagi Taku, and these descriptions were praised on the surface, but in fact, they scolded him for being a thief and a robber......

"Cheng Kuiyuan, you must know that the imperial court first wants to deal with Liu Yanseng strictly, and Hu Ziquan takes the matter on himself, which is just coercion and protection, and when the court knows that he is popular in the local area, at most he will be degraded to two or three levels to retain, it is nothing, why let him suffer from this flesh and skin? As long as you identify them quickly, the beard won't have to count the days here. ”

Li Ye smiled and spoke softly, facing the temptation of such a charming beautiful husband, I was afraid that ordinary people would be bewitched by him.

However, the persecution of Hu Luan's spur is vivid, and although the wound of Hu Luan's little finger cut off is healed, there are still traces of the original festering and thick trance. If it weren't for being transferred to Kaifeng Mansion and dealt with in time, Chengyuan guessed that it would be difficult to say whether he would have died now. He remembered what Cao Zheng warned him before entering Xuzhou: "There are people in high positions, at first glance it seems that they are very easy to get along with, and when they interact, they make you feel like they are happy, but those who can't control themselves are physically and mentally taken out of misery." ”

If there was no mention from Cao Zheng, or if he hadn't seen Hu Luan's tragic situation with his own eyes, Chengyuan really couldn't guarantee that he would not be manipulated by this person.

But now on the surface, Chengyuan still has to do a show.

"What he said is reasonable, if Cheng Kuiyuan escapes this time, Li Houzhi will not dare to thank him, and he will only sacrifice his life to repay him in the future."

Li Ye also sneered secretly in his heart as another young man who followed his own path. He stretched out his hand to the left and right, and the others had already handed over two pieces of paper full of words.

"Cheng Kuiyuan, let's draw a pledge on this confession."

Of course, Chengyuan knew that as long as he really signed on these two pieces of paper, then whether it was Liu Yanseng, Hu Luanzhi or himself, he was afraid that they would all die.

Xiaosheng also has a request, but this confession Xiaosheng wants to write it himself, after all, if many things he has experienced are described in detail by himself, it will be more reasonable to go through them. If there is anything inappropriate in the content written by Xiaosheng, Li Hou can modify it as appropriate, and it will not be too late for me to sign it again. ”

"If so, that's up to you."

So Chengyuan asked for a few pieces of paper and began to write.

This has been writing for more than two hours, on the black wall, the window near the roof is very dazzling, the room is very stuffy, Chengyuan simply took off the outer layer of clothes and threw it aside......

Suddenly, the sky at the window darkened, and Cheng Yuan knew that the time was almost up, so he raised his hand and said, "Li Hou, the confession is finished, and I want to draw a charge." ”

Li Ye hurriedly beckoned the servant to hand the red seal to Chengyuan, and asked the warden to get the torture tools, and he was about to force Hu Luan and Liu Yanseng to confess again later.

Cheng Yuan pressed his handprint on the confession, and then neatly signed the words "Cheng Kuiyuan".

Before handing over the confession to identify the two, Xiao Sheng had another request.

"You say."

"I want to ask Li Hou, I threw myself into the net yesterday night, why didn't you come and interrogate me quickly? Where are you at ease? ”

Seeing that the other party's face changed slightly, Cheng Yuan sneered and said: "Since you are so beautiful in life, you still have to pay the money to the girls in the kiln, and you don't lose it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Ye immediately felt as if a big walnut was blocked in his throat.

"You...... You, you. Li Ye pointed to Chengyuan, and his handsome little face had swelled into a pink longevity peach. Cheng Yuan flicked his sleeves and simply turned his back to stop looking at him.

Li Ye made a noise, copied the confession signed by Cheng Yuan, and saw that it was written: Dao Ke Dao is very famous, the name is very famous, the beginning of heaven and earth is famous, and the mother of all things is often undesired. There is often a desire to observe it, the two of which come out of the same name and have the same name, and the mysterious and mysterious door of the mysteries......

The same is true in the back, which is the text of the Tao Te Ching over and over again.

"Little thief! What is it? ”

Li Ye used all his strength to throw these five or six pieces of paper in front of Cheng Yuan's face, and Cheng Yuan's body was slightly biased and calmly dodged. Suddenly, there was a "clang" at the door, but the official who carried the torture equipment suddenly ran over in a panic, and the torture equipment in his hand was scattered all over the ground.

"Humble and virtuous envoys, outside...... ...... outside"

Li Ye was angry, and his smiling and calm expression had long since disappeared, leaving only a pair of crooked facial features, and he scolded: "Fuck your mother's Song Chi, don't you see that I'm busy?" ”

The martial envoy was losing his temper, and at this time, Chengyuan suddenly turned around, first smiled weirdly, and then said mysteriously: "Once upon a time, there was a person surnamed Xue, and he had a book in my heart, and there was such a sentence in the book, do you want to hear it?" ”

Seeing Li Ye glaring at himself viciously and speechless, he continued: "There is a saying in the book: In the first year of Qianyou, in June Wuyin Chushuo (Note 1), there is an eclipse of the sun!" ”

A burst of tinnitus sounded in Li Ye's head, and a voice sounded in his head like a fly, repeating constantly: "Spring flowers rise, Kui Suxing." In March, go to Bianjing. The trap is full, and the sky is tired. June 1, when the head is cloudy. ”

He sprang out of the cell, not caring about the distance, and in the dim sky was embedded a jet-black disc, and around the disc there was a very shallow halo, eerie and magnificent.

Li Ye understands that at such a time, there was a sudden solar eclipse, and it was predicted by the "Kui Wood Wolf Su" a day in advance, and it can be said that things have changed dramatically!

Chengyuan has actually been frightened for two days, one is: if it is a rainy day today, then the solar eclipse will have to be far away before anyone can observe it, and when they send the news to the capital, even if he and Liu and Hu are not dismantled, there will be few pieces of meat.

So at the end of May, I, in fact, including Guo's father and son, bet that the first day of June would continue to clear after continuous rain. Of course, on the way to the prison of the Criminal Department from the hall of Wu Desi on the shackle this morning, Chengyuan once again confirmed that the weather was fine, and if it suddenly turned cloudy, then those folk "heroes" raised by Guo Wei would still want to rob themselves halfway, and the risk would be great.

There is another person who must be thanked but not Shangcang, but it is the graduation thesis instructor of Xiamen University, surnamed Liang.

Before Chengyuan formulated this plan, he actually knew that there was a huge concern about this matter, when he listened to the elective courses of the thesis teacher, one of which focused on the screening of relevant historical materials.

"Students, do you know? There are often jokes in the history books," Cheng Yuan remembered that Teacher Liang said this in that class, but his expression was always serious, "For example, everyone knows that Li Yanshou wrote the history of the South, and some characters will be perfectly said in this biography, and when another biography reappears, the logic is completely opposite, which is the case with Emperor Xiao Zhen of Qiwu, why is this?" That's because the historical sources collected by the compilers are recorded by people with different values and different positions, and history will be refracted by them, and there will be deviations. Especially in troubled times, when daily life and records are occasionally destroyed, there will be some omissions in this chronicle, and it is even more inevitable as for the biography. ”

"There is another situation," Teacher Liang saw that Chengyuan was wandering, and couldn't help but stop talking and stared at him. It wasn't until the student came to his senses that the teacher continued, "For example, Xue Juzheng recorded two solar eclipses in the Qianyou period of the Five Dynasties, and one in the first year of Qianyou and one in the second year of Qianyou, it is not uncommon for solar eclipses to be more than two times a year, but these two solar eclipses are on the first day of the sixth month!" Solar eclipses will occur on the first day of a month in the lunar calendar, that is, the New Year's Day, which is of course normal, but Xue Juzheng skipped so many solar eclipses, but only recorded these two solar eclipses that were a whole year apart. If you believe both, then go home and do whatever you want, and don't study history in my church (Note 2). ”

Hearing a small burst of laughter from below, Mr. Luo continued: "Which one should I believe? We know that since the beginning of the Zhenguan year of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the intervention of the imperial power in the compilation of historical books has become more and more intensified, especially the two Taizu and Taizong of the Song Dynasty, they have a very ambivalent psychology: that is, for the Later Zhou usurpation of the Han Dynasty, they both want to rationalize it, but also fear rationalization. But there is one thing that they agree on - that is, the criticism of the rule of the Liu clan in the Later Han Dynasty must be added to the vinegar. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Liang suddenly paused for a moment before continuing: "This place is only my personal opinion, just for reference, I think that since we want to demonize the politics of Qianyou, then the emperor of the Song Dynasty will demand that the large-scale locust plague that breeds again after the repeated extinguishing of the fifteen states in the second year of Qianyou, as well as the severe drought in ten large states, are all related to the celestial phase, such as the solar eclipse, so as to appeal to the Later Han Dynasty's destiny has been lost." ”

Mr. Liang wrote on the blackboard on the left and right of "Solar Eclipse in the Second Year of Qianyou" and "Solar Eclipse in the First Year of Qianyou", a few words, and slapped a big cross on the side of the second year of Qianyou.

Xue Juzheng occasionally hardened, and his way was to record the solar eclipse that really occurred in the first year of Qianyou, so that future generations could analyze it themselves. Therefore, in comparison, the account of the first year of Qianyou is very bland, as if to cover up something, and I think this is credible. ”

However, he still emphasized another sentence: "This personal opinion is only for your reference, the teacher mainly wants you to feel this method of screening and analyzing problems, if any of you "crossed" one day, and then found that there was no solar eclipse in the first year of Qianyou, then don't go back to Xiamen University to find trouble with me Liang." ”

This joke made all the students in the lecture hall laugh out loud at the time.

At this moment, Chengyuan looked at Li Ye, who was scratching his ears and cheeks at the door of Wudesi's prison, and laughed again......

"Teacher Liang, you are right, thank you!" Chengyuan closed his eyes and silently sent out the gratitude that traveled through time and space......

Note 1 Shuo represents the first day of the new year, and this sentence comes from Xue Juzheng's "The Third Chronicle of the Old Five Dynasties - The Hidden Emperor Ji"

Note 2: The original text of the second year of Qianyou is: There is an eclipse in June. Of course, the so-called Li Chunfeng's solar measurement cannot be taken seriously, and as for the accurate prediction of solar eclipses in the real sense in ancient China, it was probably after the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
