Chapter 219: Years Later
"Young master, are you still comfortable in this car? It's a pretty good day now, so it won't be too boring in this car, right? Ah San's voice came from outside the carriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is as hippie smiling as ever, but it's slightly thicker than it was a few years ago.
In the luxurious carriage sat a young man who looked to be about twenty years old. Holding a book in his hand, his eyes squinted slightly, as if he was reading a book, and as if he had fallen asleep gently. The breath moves with the ups and downs of the carriage, and there is a leisurely atmosphere. It was as if it was not on this bumpy carriage now, but in the quiet of the mountains.
If someone takes a closer look at this young man, I am afraid they can't help but exclaim, is there really such a handsome and handsome beautiful man in this world? At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, but he could clearly see that the slightly upturned natural corners of his eyes were so seductive. If you look at the lady who is waiting for the boudoir, I am afraid that he will be hooked in an instant.
The tall bridge of the nose seems to tell the world that he has the blood of the Hu people, and the bridge of the nose of ordinary Han people is far from so high. The thin lips are pink and delicate, not like the delicate that a man should have. However, the lips are a little too thin, if a face master sees it, he will inevitably sigh, this person is so handsome, but how can he have a thin image.
The beard on his lips was a sign that he was no longer a teenager, and that the bun on his head was already in the shape of an adult's, and that he had already performed the crown salute.
That's right, this person is Helan Minzhi.
was already half-asleep, but he was completely awake after being disturbed by Ah San. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he put down the scroll in his hand. If there is really a woman who sees the brilliance that blooms at the moment when her eyes open, I am afraid that she will not marry in this life. is worthy of being the most beautiful man in the world in the history books, that is, the legendary Pan An, and Longyang is probably not as handsome as Helan Min today.
It's really like a crown of jade, and your eyes are like stars.
I opened my eyes and stretched slightly. The look in his eyes and the slightly bulging temples show that he can now be regarded as a master of the house. There is already a trace of non-anger and self-authority.
"It's only been a long time since you came out of Chang'an, and you're too lazy. You will not be allowed to ride a horse today, so go on like this. "You don't have to think about it to know Ah San's intentions, it must be too tired to walk on the ground, and he wants to get on the horse and gallop. finally had a chance to get out of Chang'an and Mercedes Benz, with his temperament, it was impossible to stay honestly.
The sound of Ah Da Ah Er laughing rang out from outside, but in an instant it was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves. Ah San, who was outside the car, stared at the two brothers who laughed at him a little angrily, and then arched his hand helplessly: "Yes." ”
Helan Minzhi shook his head, ignored the laughter between them, and continued to pick up the book in his hand and read it quietly. This is not a Confucian classic, but a Buddhist scripture. Ah, not in Sanskrit. It is the Chinese version translated by Master Xuanzang in the past few years. A few years ago, he was only interested in the philosophical outlook of Buddhism, and he had never been able to read the scriptures. Because even if it is translated into Chinese, it is too difficult to speak, and the meaning is even more obscure. Just a few years later, he was able to hold the scriptures in his hands. This is almost impossible for a posterity. At the same time, it also shows that he is more like a pure Tang man at this time. It's just that the memories in the mind have not been erased, and the thoughts have not been erased.
It has been five years since Tang Gaozong Xianqing, and after a long period of calculation, he can barely remember that this year should be 660 AD. In the past, he always felt that it was too cumbersome to use the emperor's year name to calculate the year, but now he has also habitually given up the AD year calculation method and began to accept this emperor's year name from the heart.
By this year, he would have turned 18 years old. According to the Hereafter, it has reached the legal age of majority. But for the Tang Dynasty, he was already an adult. Confucius said, I am five out of ten and am determined to learn, and thirty is standing. In the Tang Dynasty, it was common for men to be crowned at the age of fifteen, which meant formal adulthood.
After the crown ceremony, you can add the table word, which is generally taken by the elders in the family, just like the name, and in this Tang society, the table word is often called more than the name. However, Helan Minzhi has no elders, and they all say that his mother and uncle are old, and his father died early, so there should be an uncle to perform the crown ceremony and take the table words. However, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were secretly plotted out of Beijing by Helan Minzhi as early as the second year when Wu Zetian became the queen.
At that time, it was for the sake of Wu Zetian, and for the sake of the great cause of the martial arts, so they were reluctantly sacrificed.
Of course, the above is the official statement, in fact, Wu Zetian and He Lanminzhi coincide and want revenge. Wu Zetian is avenging being bullied when he was a child, and Helan Minzhi is avenging being kicked out of his home. At that time, Wu Zetian's foundation for ascending to the throne was unstable, and it stands to reason that there was no usual reward for the martial arts. On the contrary, he rewarded Han Ying and others, and Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu only raised a notch.
In order to show favor to the Li family's clan, Wu Zetian really wasted a lot of effort. At the same time, in order to prove to the whole world that the new queen is different from the previous queen, this grand duke is selfless and does not protect his family for his crimes. With a little mistake that is not a fault, it was played by the imperial history book and approved by the emperor, and Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were completely tragic. Not only were the two brothers dismissed from their four-rank official positions, but each of them found a place where birds didn't, one was appointed as a county minister, and the other was appointed as a Sima.
This matter was secretly planned by Helan Minzhi himself, and the effect obtained was also very obvious. Under his deliberate promotion, there is not a single common person in Chang'an City who does not say that Wu Zetian is selfless, and there is no one who does not know how hateful this Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are. Public opinion unanimously directed Wu Zetian, and even some officials in the DPRK and China secretly surrendered to Wu Zetian.
Han Ying Laiji and the others also quieted down a lot in an instant, and originally thought that Wu Zetian would continue to show favor to them after ascending to the throne, and he must have no intention of ascending to the back position, so he relented. However, even his own biological brother didn't let go at all, and he didn't show any mercy at all, let alone himself and others. As for Chu Suiliang? As early as the Yonghui period, when he was still arguing over the abolition of Wang Liwu, he angered Li Zhi. was first demoted to Tanzhou as the governor. In the second year of Xianqing, he was demoted to the governor of Guizhou, Guangxi, and died in office in the fourth year of Xianqing. However, instead of being saddened by his death, Li Zhi, who had always been benevolent, cut off all his titles and exiled his descendants to Guangxi. (To be continued.) )
