Chapter 161: Pedestrians on the Road Want to Break Their Souls
"It's confused, the strips are all the same," Dugu Xinci shouted, "The cannon lit by the Queen Mother, double it, what does the sage say is so bold?" Someone's guts have always been very small, huh? ”
The sage was speechless, and continued to read the article, this is a small biography of Song Jingxianggong, which begins with a description of Song Jingxianggong's career:
Song Jing was born in the third year of Tang Gaozong's Longshuo. During the period of Tang Gaozong's dew, Song Jing, who was only seventeen years old, was promoted to supervise the imperial history and Fengge after being awarded the Yichang Order.
In the first year of Tang Ruizong Jingyun, Song Jing entered the history of Governor Luo as the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the three products of the Tongzhong Book, and was selected by the Quan. Song Jing's choice of fairness is what the time called. At that time, Princess Taiping abused her power and would murder the prince, Song Jing and Yao Chongjuan asked the princess to live in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and was demoted to the history of Chuzhou.
At the beginning of Shenlong, he was the governor of Guangzhou, and taught the people to burn Wadai bamboo grass to build houses to avoid fires.
In the fourth year of Shenlong, he was summoned to be the secretary of the criminal department, and soon Yao Chong was the prime minister. Song Jing occupies the phase, selects people for business, and appoints according to talents, so that all officials are competent for their positions. He punished selflessly, dared to offend his face, and was feared by the saints, although he did not agree, he reluctantly accepted it. The sage said, "Advocating goodness and adaptation to become the affairs of the world, and keeping the good and abiding by the text to uphold the righteousness of the world." The two are different, but they are the same".
In the fifth year of Shenlong, Song Jing accompanied Xuanzong to visit the eastern capital, passing through the valley, the mountain is high and the road is narrow, and it is difficult to walk. Xuanzong was very angry and wanted to dismiss Yin Li Chaoyin of Henan and Wang Yi, the envoy of Zhidun who was in charge of the affairs of the journey. Song Jing admonished and said: "Your Majesty is happy in every way, and now you are guilty of two ministers, and the ministers are afraid that the people will suffer from it in the future." The saint thought it was reasonable, and he spared them from death.
In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, in order to suppress the complaints of bureaucrats who broke the law, and strictly prohibited the circulation of bad money, it was decided to repair the canal and reform the government soldiers to recruit soldiers.
The government and the opposition praised Song Jing as "Yang Chun with feet". It means that Song Jing is like a spring breeze, where he goes, he feels warm, and he does not fight for fame and profit; Being strict with himself and being lenient with others all reflect his noble character of loving the people and caring for things.
Song Jing is upright, persistent and honest, literature is enough to do business, and he knows the period of Zuoshi, he is only straight, and he does not agree.
The lord of the people changed his appearance, the treacherous and cute for it, and the four Yi did not dare to watch when they heard it, and this upright minister was also. It lies in the ancients, if the row, the threshold, the introduction, the bad hemp, etc., can be said to be upright.
"Your evaluation is fair," the sage looked at it and began to nod, "Your courage is too big, comment on the courtiers?" That's the historian's duty."
"Oh, then so-and-so took down this article" Dugu Xinci didn't care.
"Uh," the sage took the newspaper and pondered, looking around, and the people who came with him were only Dugu Zhen, Feng Yuanyi, Pei Min, and Yang Siqiao, all of whom were heartfelt, so he said, "You will stop for a while, Eminem is also tired, can you rest for a while?" ”
So the queen mother took Nalan Feiya and others to the remote place to eat pastries, and the saint sat on the queen mother's circle chair.
"Your Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspaper, Feng Daban talked to a certain person, can you really make thousands of dollars a day?"
"Haven't started yet? Who can guarantee how much you can earn? If Mr. Feng is hot-headed, fills his pockets in the sale of newspapers, and neglects his duties, maybe he will still lose money? Dugu Xinci hated the sage's reprimand and began to talk nonsense.
The sage and the chief manager of Lijingmen Feng were too lazy to argue, the sage tapped the mahjong table with his fingers, and after pondering for a while, he said: "This newspaper is divided into categories, and it is much clearer than the newspaper of the Jinjuyuan. But if you can really make money and support a hidden household, business is business, right? But what's going on with this final commentary? ”
"Song Xianggong said that a certain person is an idler, and a certain person has feet in his spring," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.
"Yangchun has feet? That's a good review, huh? The sage wondered, should this son be so honest and kind enough to say good things about his political enemies? Not its style.
"Yangchun has feet, isn't it a bull?" Feng Yuanyi saw this article yesterday and knew this allusion, so he smiled at this time.
"Bulls? Hehe, you really can't afford to lose anything? The sage laughed, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh, leaning forward and leaning back, clapping mahjong tiles with his hands, and being extremely happy.
"But this paper is a bit of a coffin? What does Tianxing mean to give Song Jing a wake-up call? King Duguzhen frowned.
"That's right, so-and-so just reminds him that his words count, and get out of the prime minister's position as soon as possible" Dugu Xinci was very proud.
"How daring are you? The position of prime minister is related to the politics of the Yan Tang Dynasty, how can you put your beak? King Duguzhen was furious.
"Okay, this kid is also angry for a certain point, forget it this time, so be it, don't pay attention to this current political commentary in the future, the prestige of the ministers still has to be maintained" The sage also knew that the king of the county was deliberately training his son to see it with himself.
"Of course, in the future, courtiers above the third grade will not be evaluated," Dugu Xinci nodded.
"You...., forget it, that's it, you are not allowed to slip away at the festival the day after tomorrow, and the dojos of Buddhism and Taoism are all touched and left, is it to avoid suspicion or to be lazy? And what kind of car and boat are you secretly planning with Buddhism, and what kind of charter are there? The saint commanded again.
"Isn't it just a business? It is best to make money, as long as you don't lose money, feeding 100,000 people is also a merit."
"Will you do a loss-making business? "Although the saint did not know how he could feed 100,000 people, he knew that this son could not afford to lose his temper.
"The sage looked at it, but although this matter is involved in Lijingmen, it still needs people from the household department to supervise, well, Yushitai can also send people to come" Dugu Xinci is not afraid of the court sending people to hinder it.
"What do you do with your private business and let the courtiers get involved?" The saint was puzzled.
"100,000 people? The saints are relieved, and the courtiers are not at ease," Dugu Xinci sneered.
"Oh, then, you can do it," the saint thought.
"Does the saint eat here in the evening?" Dugu Xinci asked again, changing the subject.
"I'm full of your anger, let's go back to Xingqing Palace" The sage ignored him and went straight to the queen mother to pretend to be a filial son.
Dugu Xinci looked at the sky outside the hall with his eyes, and saw that the rain continued to rage, and it was getting late, so he beckoned Mrs. Qiu to send someone to hang up the lantern and go into the kitchen to clean his hands and prepare for the dinner.
Originally, he and Nalan Feiya only brought Big Bear Ah Dog and Du Shasha, and the five of them and the Queen Mother added Dugu Jia Luo at most, and it was enough to prepare a dozen dishes, but who knew that the sage sent Feng Yuanyi to say that he wanted to stay in Yiqiu Palace for dinner again.
"I heard that Jun Wu joked, how could this saint always change his orders day and night, no, he turned around and changed" Dugu Xinci complained.
"Drinking with the saints, that is a blessing that many ministers and workers are looking forward to, why do you still have a lot of grievances?" Feng Yuanyi was also not angry.
"Don't say it, I'm going to prepare the dishes, the newspaper can be printed, have you informed Feng Ping?"
"Just sent someone to inform"
"Let it print 200,000 copies, and start distributing it tomorrow, this first issue is free."
"Got it, you can reorganize the dishes with peace of mind? It's been a long time since I've tasted your cooking skills, and I'm quite nostalgic," Feng Yuanyi went out with a smile.
So Dugu was kind and worked hard to make dishes for more than 20 people.
"Your cooking skills have not regressed" The sage ate delicacies, drank wine, and admired in his mouth.
Dugu Xinci didn't bother to respond, and silently ate the shrimp that Nalan Feiya peeled for him, and his heart was as sweet as honey.
After the banquet, after a cup of tea, the twilight drum of the Chengtian Gate of the Taiji Palace has sounded three ways, so everyone is scattered.
Everyone out of Yanxi Gate, Chang'an Sixth Street has no one left, it must not be more than a quarter of an hour away from the curfew, the saint saw Dugu Xinci and diligently sent Nalan Feiya back to Daming Palace, he will definitely encounter the door closed, and want to blame him for treating the curfew as nothing, but thinking that he is the same, he waved his sleeves and left directly.
On March 7, it was still rainy, and Dugu Xinci went to Wannian County in the morning, and was pulled around by Du Wanqiang to check the layout of various places.
The Sixth Street of Chang'an is already densely covered with spirit flags, and the red spirit flags hang low, and they are even more sad when they are wet by the rain.
Although Dugu Xinci spent most of the time in the car, he also felt uncomfortable with the dampness, and he didn't want to go out in the afternoon, so he hid in the county study, Nalan Feiya did not leave the palace today, Dugu Xinci told him yesterday that he still stayed in the house comfortably on a rainy day, so that he did not have to see each other, and then returned to Qingchuan after Qingming, and then he could be together day and night.
On March 8, Qingming, Dugu Xinci actually found that the rain had stopped when he went out, which was very surprising.
Before he arrived, Dugu Xinci arrived at the county party and took people to Daming Palace after a little arrangement.
The opening ceremony of the Martyrs' Shrine was presided over by one of the chief priests, several people with the priests, one person each from the celebrant, the master of ceremonies, the master of ceremonies, the incense, and the reading of the blessings, as well as the deacons such as the bell, the drum, the musician, and the secretary.
Dugu Xinci is one of the several sacrifices, also called the accompanying sacrifice, this number of about 100 people, all of them are the ministers of the political hall, the three provinces and six departments of the Shangshu Shilang, Jingzhao Mansion Yin, Siqing Supervisor, Sixteen Wei General Generals, there is no three grades below, the Manchu Dynasty Zhu Zi still needs to have a prominent position to be able to enter the ranks, Dugu Xinci is the name of Jingzhao Mansion to be able to squeeze in.
There are two accompanying sacrifices in Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Yin Li Yuanhong of Jingzhao Mansion and Beijia Dugu Xinci.
Jingzhao Mansion is also busy, and the two young Yin have been sent out to the scene to maintain order and solve emergencies.
Li Yuanhong had nothing to say to him, so after asking a few questions, he sent him to check the scene layout.
Dugu Xinci was originally going to come out of Jingzhao Mansion next to the Xuanzheng Hall to follow Jingzhao Mansion Yin Li Yuanhong, Shao Yin Yanshizhi and others from Jingzhao Mansion to pass through the direction of the Linde Palace, but was driven by Li Yuanhong to Xing'anmen to check the crowd of spectators.
Dugu Xinci was depressed and took the big bear and the dog, as well as the county Cheng Wen Gu Yan, and the main book Wei Qing went out of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace.
Wen Guyan had been going around both sides of Guangyun Pond and Furong Pond in recent days, and he was also called back to participate in the festival today.
As soon as a few people came out of Danfeng Gate, they encountered a large number of people who were ready to go to participate in the ceremony, everyone was dressed in plain clothes, their arms were tied with black yarn, and there were people who were directly wearing white linen filial piety clothes and holding the spiritual position, all of them lowered their heads, and many women and children were even crying.
From Danfeng Gate in the east, from Chunmingmen Street and Jianfumen Street in the west, there are Jinwuwei forbidden rings, and there are people from Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County to set up sheds, prepare medicine and tea, as well as flowers and black yarn and other things for the worshippers to take, almost every two hundred steps or so there are such sheds, each shed has four or five people guarded, the configuration is one person for each of the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, that is, a monk and a Taoist priest guard the two ends, in the middle is the Wannian County Party stationed a person, more than 300 people in Wannian County are all dispatched today, Also recruited a lot of Wuhou miscellaneous servants, each shed is also equipped with a special lady, Dugu Xinci ordered to be recruited from the Wannian County workshops, requiring to be able to speak, used to persuade those overly worried ladies, there are Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspapers in the shed for people to take and read, with these measures to disturb people's mourning, the whole crowd is still calm.
There are red silk and white characters in front of the shed, the words are what is the tribute to the eternal existence of the heroic soul, deep sorrow, meditation and prayer, the martyrs will live forever, the Tang Dynasty Qianqiu, Yan Tang will never forget the heroic martyrs, the martyrs will be glorious, the heroic soul will always bless Yan Tang, the heroic souls of the dead will be immortal, cautious and long-term, virtuous and so on, look at the handwriting should be the main book Wei Qing and Jiang He joined the army.
There are also benches and small chairs next to the shed, where some old people and women and children are placed to rest, and ordinary people can not enter the palace so early to worship, and they can only enter the palace after the saint brings the ministers to complete the ceremony.
There are two ways to enter the palace, one is from the Danfeng Gate into the Daming Palace through the Hanyuan Hall Lin De Hall to go to the Martyrs' Shrine, this road is for the courtiers and some martyrs who died in battle above the rank of the captain to enter, and the other is from the Xing'an Gate into the wall between the West Inner Garden and the Daming Palace, to the right Yintai Gate into the Daming Palace, along the palace wall straight into the Martyrs' Shrine.
It is at least seven miles from Chunmingmen Street to Youyintaimen, and it is now full of people. But they are all silently waiting, mourning and solemn, the crowd is not as crowded as the Shangyuan Festival, there is a tacit understanding of the three lines, each family is a bunch, there is a family to pay tribute to the deceased son, there are women and children to pay tribute to the husband and father, and there is even a lady holding three spirit cards, her husband and two sons were killed in the war.
Dugu Xinci looked at it and shook his head, went to a shed and instructed the people in the county party to let the lady come over to rest, let her tell her about the situation, and record it as the material for tomorrow's Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspaper, and you need to ask for a clear residential address, whether it is Gyeonggi or other provincial prefectures, you can promise to be bereaved by the Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspaper to help her retire.
When the people of the county party heard the instructions, they naturally obeyed them, and Dugu Xinci worked hard with the monks on the side, so they continued to move forward.
Dugu Xinci does not need to avoid others, when he was instructed, since someone heard his words, they inquired about his name, and the people in the shed also told the truth, and said that this martyr's shrine was also asked by the Marquis of Far East to ask for the saint, they were all grateful. Even a woman brought her young son and prostrated to him.
"The ground is still muddy, there is no need to stain the clothes, and I will go to worship your lord, so that he will not like to see the dirty mud" Dugu Xinci pulled and comforted the child, and the child nodded.
"The saint sent a certain person to supervise this memorial, that is, he did not forget the martyrs who sacrificed his life for the country, you are the family members of the martyrs, and the saints also instructed a certain opportunity to solve the hardships for you, what requirements do you have, such as life difficulties or children's schooling, etc., you can go to the shed to register, and a certain will be reported to the saint, and the saint and the court will sympathize with you, "Dugu Xinci saw that there were more and more people around you, so he loudly proclaimed" You still need to wait for the great monks, immortals, and true people to surpass the heroic soul, and wait for your relatives who died in the war to return to the throne You can enter the memorial service, please be calm for a while. ”
So Dugu Xinci seemed to have to enter Xing'an Gate to escape, but there was also a crowd here, Dugu Xinci had no choice but to talk all the way, but fortunately, everyone was just sad, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior, and a little consolation was calm.
Wait to enter the right Yintai gate, which has not yet been opened, leaving only a side door, there is also a large group of Jin Wuwei stationed, seeing the Far East Hou in front of the self-release, Dugu Xinci and the back waiting crowd to apologize and say goodbye, before entering the Daming Palace.
There are also a large number of people waiting to enter the Martyrs' Shrine in the Daming Palace, here are the martyrs of the martyrs above the Wupin Captain, the queue is even more silent, here by the people of Jingzhao Mansion are responsible for the reception, their measures are naturally not as good as Wannian County, the people of Jingzhao Mansion scattered in twos and threes to guard this crowd, and there is no roof, Dugu Xinci shook his head, ready to go directly to the Martyrs' Shrine, but saw that some women and children in the crowd were already mentally committed, crumbling, afraid that they would faint before the memorial began.
These people must be mourning every day recently, they are already in good spirits, this morning they are from all walks to Daming Palace, entering Daming Palace is walking, many people are very likely to have breakfast and still need to support for an hour or two, how can women and children have this physical strength?
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
Where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village.
