Chapter Twenty-Three: Bullying
When the Yellow Turban soldiers were in full swing to cut flat poles, weave baskets, and desperately load the frame with delicate and white high-quality kaolin, Zhang Forget took Yang Xiu and others to climb a mountain peak in the north and look at the direction of Luoyang from afar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In that place, there are demons and monsters all over the country, and there are ghosts and ghosts everywhere, a beautiful boy like himself who is not deeply involved in the world, with only a belly of economic, cultural, and technological knowledge, can he really mix well?
A child walking on the road with gold in his arms will hardly end up except being robbed and injured. So do you have to be like Wang Yue, who is keen on fame and fortune, to frequently go in and out of the homes of princes and ministers, and kneel and lick those high-ranking nobles like a dog?
Not all grandchildren will become grandparents, but all grandpas have been grandchildren, which is really sad to think about.
The little leader Zhang Mane saw that he was very close to Luoyang, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and asked Zhang Wang: "Xiao Langjun has so many servants and family members, and after arriving in Luoyang, will they all live in the Taiwei Mansion together?" ”
"Of course not, the Taiwei Mansion is not a refugee camp, and it is impossible for us to live in a group of people of unknown origin."
Zhang Mane was stunned for a moment: "Then where do we live?" ”
"Just now, I have sent a fast horse to send the news of our imminent arrival to Luoyang. If we arrive, the captain can't prepare a place for us to live, and he's a captain in vain. ”
Zhang Mane felt from the tone of Zhang Wang's speech that he did not have a trace of awe and respect for the Taiwei, and couldn't help but peek at Yang Xiu, and found that Yang Xiu had a helpless expression on his face, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Wu even more.
The disciple of the master of the horse completely convinced the grandson of the Taiwei, which is really a matter of long-term ambition.
Accompanied Zhang Forget to watch the scenery on the mountain for a long time, his neck was sour, and seeing that Zhang Forget still had no intention of going down the mountain, Zhang Mane reminded in a low voice: "It's been so long, I'm afraid the brothers have already dug up the soil, shouldn't we set off?" ”
"We're not going anywhere, we're just waiting here."
Zhang Wang glanced sideways at him, with some pity in his eyes.
The peasant uprisings of all dynasties and dynasties have their positive significance, but it is simply impossible for a group of people who have no vision, no vision, no knowledge, and no discipline to overthrow the old society and establish a new dynasty by themselves.
Whether it is prosperous times or troubled times, the development of production and social progress require the participation of people from all fields and all walks of life.
Seeing Zhang Man's inexplicable expression, Zhang Forget explained: "Luoyang is where the imperial court is located, and the land of the tiger is not a place where ordinary people come and go freely, let alone a mighty team like ours. The lieutenant will send someone out to meet us, and you go down the mountain to tell your brothers that when the time comes, you must cooperate with the disarming and be obedient to the people, and you must not be beheaded by the officers and soldiers as traitors. ”
Zhang Mane was shocked: "Do you want to disarm?" ”
Zhang Forget patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The dignitaries and nobles regard their own safety as extremely important, how can they allow more than 200 people to enter Luoyang with weapons?" Rest assured, it's just a formality. When everything settles down, these things will creep back into our hands. ”
Zhang Mane nodded, and had no choice but to go down the mountain to arrange.
Zhang Forget turned to face Yang Xiu and said seriously: "Regarding the disposal of these people, I will definitely give your grandfather a perfect explanation." If he comes up with a thunderbolt before that, you must find a way to stop it. ”
Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What if I can't stop it?" ”
The corners of Zhang Wang's mouth rose slightly: "If you think that you have the protection of the Taiwei, I can't help you, you can try." ”
Yang Xiu said with iron bones: "If I didn't know that you didn't have the slightest malice towards my Yang family, even if you threatened me to dismantle the big eight pieces, I wouldn't help you." ”
Douzi covered his mouth and snickered on the side, because Yang Xiu's implication was that I would do as you ordered, don't worry.
Yang Xiu found that his IQ was suppressed everywhere, and he sulked to the side with a melancholy expression.
Before sunset and dusk, someone from the Taiwei Mansion really came.
Taiwei Yang Ci's second butler and Cao Zuoshi, a soldier of Taiwei's Mansion, came side by side, followed by a hundred soldiers and a hundred servants.
Zhang Mane was a little nervous, because once the conflict broke out, he couldn't guarantee that these Yellow Turban brothers who followed him to Luoyang would return alive.
After the soldier Cao Zuoshi saw Yang Xiu, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Wang, Zhang Mane and the others, and directly got off the bows and arrows of those Yellow Turban soldiers, and then took the soldiers away.
The second housekeeper of Yang Ci's mansion stepped forward to greet him with a smile, thanked Zhang Wang, Zhang Mane and others for escorting them all the way, and invited Zhang Wang and his servants to enter Luoyang together.
Zhang Wang happily agreed, and stuffed a piece of jade pendant into the second butler's hand. Without Yang Ci's housekeeper to lead the way, if these people want to enter Luoyang, they must be divided into at least a dozen batches.
Yang Xiu rolled his eyes on the side, because the jade pendant was picked off his hat.
The group gathered together, walked until dark, and slept in the wilderness for the night. At dusk on the second day, we finally arrived at Luoyang City.
With the butler of the Taiwei family leading the way, the city gate official took a casual look and let Zhang Wang and the others in.
The second housekeeper led everyone to the Upper East Gate Street in Luoyang City and said goodbye to Zhang Wangzuo.
The upper east gate is not only close to the east out of the avenue, but also close to the north palace of the imperial city, which is the gathering place of the princes and generals and dignitaries in Luoyang City.
The people who live here are either rich or noble, and the private residence of Taiwei Yang Ci is located on this street.
The house arranged by the second housekeeper for Zhang Wang and others was in the west of the imperial city, which was left by a Zhongsan doctor when he went out of Beijing as an official.
The second housekeeper sent a servant to show Zhang Wang, and then led the little son Yang Xiu back to Yang's house.
After Zhang Wangmu sent them away, he looked to the northeast with a hint of yearning on his face.
To the east of the ancient gate in the northeast corner is Taicang and the arsenal, and if you want to sack Luoyang City in the future, this location must not be mistaken.
Wang Yue sent Zhang Wang all the way to Luoyang, and did not say goodbye to Zhang Wang at this moment. For the sake of the mountain, how can it fall short, and it is necessary to determine Zhang Wang's residence, so that he can come and go in the future.
Zhang Forget knew his thoughts, and he was not humble, and took him straight to the house left by Dr. Xizhongsan in the imperial city.
Dr. Zhongsan is a five-grade civil official, who is in charge of discussing the affairs of the government. The mansion he left behind was quite in line with his status, covering a large area and not luxurious. Five in and five out of the big house, pavilions, rockery ponds, all available.
Taiwei Yang Ci knew that Zhang forgot that he had brought a servant, but fortunately a servant did not send it, leaving him with an empty house, not even furniture and things, which was both intimate and disturbing.
The reason for the disturbance is that all the expenses along the way are paid by Yang Xiu, and in addition to those domestic servants and their own belongings, he and the others only have more than a dozen dollars left for beans.
Seeing this, Wang Yue regretted that he came with him. But when it comes, I always have to say something.
He sent people to the martial arts hall and transported a large number of furniture, bedding, rice, grain, salt and oil to help Zhang Wang's emergency. Zhang forgot to thank him for his help, and drove him away without even leaving dinner.
Zhang Forget was the most impatient to deal with trivial matters, and appointed Douzi as the temporary butler, Zhang Man, the small leader of the Yellow Turban, as the second butler, and Lang Zhongchun Yuyi as the third butler, responsible for eating, drinking, and lodging.
If you don't hide, you can't do it, those Yellow Turban soldiers who have walked fifty miles with kaolin are staring at themselves, waiting for a reward.
I asked a few idlers on the street, and knew that one of my neighbors was Liu Tao, the servant of the imperial family, and the other was Liang Yi, a servant in the palace, and Zhang Forget was suddenly a little happy.
Liu Tao was a rare loyal minister in the late Eastern Han Dynasty after Liu Bo, the second son of Liu Chang, King of Huainan Li in the Western Han Dynasty. After this person was killed by the Ten Standing Attendants, "the world is full of pain".
The most important thing is that this person has written hundreds of thousands of words and is an out-and-out lover of literary creation. As a scholar, Zhang is not afraid of not having a common language with him at all.
According to historical records, Liu Tao is the author of "Seven Yao Treatises", "Kuang Laozi", "Anti-Han Fei", "Fu Mengke", and more than 100 articles on the affairs of the world, teachings, fu, music, books, notes, and debates.
Many works cannot be found on Baidu in later generations, but this is not a problem, because comparing one's own strengths with the shortcomings of others is what Zhang Forget prefers to do.
As for the neighbors on the other side, if you have the chance, you must go to have a meal.
Zhang forgot to straighten his clothes, made himself look neat, patted his face, made himself laugh, and then went to the door to ask to see Liu Tao.
It is the right thing to do when you move to a new home and visit your neighbors.
Liu Tao is a righteous gentleman, and the porter in the house is naturally not a slippery person.
He didn't blame Zhang Forget for coming to the door rashly, and saluted Zhang Forget very politely, telling him: "The master of the family went to the banquet at the house next door and has not yet returned." ”
Kuren is the imperial chef of later generations, but the Han Dynasty did not have such a title as imperial chef. It's like if there is a Tai Doctor in the future generations, and at this time he is not called a Tai Doctor, but a Waiter Doctor, but in fact, he is the same person, and he should not be called the same.
Zhang forgot to say goodbye to the concierge of Liu Tao's house, and came to Liang Yi's house leisurely. Since God wants him to rub a meal, then he will not rub it in vain, after all, God is the greatest.
The concierge of Liang Yi is not as good as the concierge of Liu Tao's house.
"If Lang Jun doesn't have an invitation, please forgive the villain for not letting you in." The porter groveled and seemed polite, but the words he uttered were very suffocating.
Zhang Che ate the closed door, and began to fool people with his fake identity again: "Why, my name of the Zhang family in Shu County is not well-known, don't you deserve to be the host of your family at the banquet?" ”
The house slave secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart which green onion is the Zhang family of Shu County, and he has never heard of it. Jingshi Luoyang doesn't know how many family gates have been gathered, don't say that you are the Zhang family of Shu County, even if it is the Hejian Zhang family handed down by the famous minister Zhang Liang, at this time, you don't want to enter this door.
Zhang Che saw that the porter would not give way, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Good words don't work, so let's be tough.
He changed his face and reprimanded: "Little people, but from humble backgrounds, how unreasonable can they despise the children of my wealthy family so much!" You only look at the present, regardless of the future, and be careful of inviting disaster and causing trouble for your master. ”
Speaking of this, he pushed open the door, raised his legs and walked inside: "I have decided to go to this banquet, and if you stop me again, I will see if I will break your legs?" ”
said so, but I thought in my heart, if you stop me one more step, Lao Tzu will turn around and leave, and he will definitely not suffer the loss in front of him.
The porter was suppressed by Zhang Wang's bluff, and wanted to stop but didn't dare.
In the final analysis, Liang Yi came from a humble background and belonged to a poor family, and he lacked confidence in front of the family gatekeeper.
All his scenery comes from the emperor, and who dares to guarantee that the emperor will always value him? When one day he gets tired of eating the food he cooks, falling out of favor is just a matter of day and night.
