Volume III Chapter XXIII
(New week, new beginning.) As soon as I turned on the computer, I saw that the flowers were full of eyes, cool! It would be even better if there were more! )
The majestic mountains are endless, and the mountains are full of Sichuan-flavored mountain songs. From a distance, even if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can't see the outside world, the setting sun casts a gray coat on the overlapping mountains, a few lone stars have appeared in the sky, and the mountain wind blows strongly, blowing towards an old man on the top of the mountain.
The old man is about fifty years old, wearing a square scarf, wearing a blue cloth robe, a pair of bast shoes, gray hair, deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, three long whiskers fluttering, very elegant, although looking into the distance, but there is a quiet in his eyes, and he mutters in his mouth: "Always because the floating clouds can cover the sun, Chang'an does not make people worried." "This is the old work of Li Taibai who was given gold by Emperor Xuanzong to wait for the Jinling Phoenix Terrace.
"Master, it's time to go home. The mountain wind is strong, and the old man's body is just right, so he can't help it. Master, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, take care of your body. The imperial court will remember you, you see, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, didn't he promote you to the history of Chungju? ”
This old man is none other than Lu Zhen. Suzhou Jiaxing (now Zhejiang) people, the word respect. In the eighth year of the Great Calendar (773), he was a scholar, a scholar and a scholar. Dezong ascended the throne and summoned him as a scholar of Hanlin.
Since he was appointed as a scholar of Hanlin, Lu Zhen has been a counselor and is responsible for drafting edicts, which is very much relied on by the imperial court and is known as the "internal minister". The rebellion of the four towns, when the time of crisis, the government and government were complicated, and a large number of edicts were drafted by Lu Zhen. In the seventh year of Zhenyuan (791), he worshiped the squire of the military department and knew the tribute. In the following year, he served as the secretary of the Zhongshu Lang Tongping Zhangshi and became the prime minister.
During his reign, Lu Zhen was loyal to the country, worked hard, and had foresight. At that time, when the social contradictions deepened and the Tang Dynasty was facing collapse, he pointed out the disadvantages of Chen Shi, planned great plans, and made many good strategies for the imperial court. He was extremely loyal to Dezong, and suggested that the emperor should understand the situation, open up his words widely, accept his words and change his ways, lightly punish the meager endowment, let the virtuous dethrone the evil, store grain and prepare for the border, and eliminate the war. Some of these suggestions were adopted by Dezong and translated into practical policy. Especially in the situation that the whole country was shaken by the rebellion in the feudal town, he advised Dezong to issue an edict to punish himself, drafted a sincere and moving edict for Dezong and promulgated it to the world, and the front-line soldiers were moved by it, some wept bitterly after hearing it, and the rebels apologized. Because he was good at foresight, took appropriate measures, and tried his best to save the situation, the crumbling situation of the Tang Dynasty was able to turn from crisis to safety.
Lu Zhen is chaste and upright, strict with himself, and promises to "live up to the Son of Heaven and live up to what he has learned", take the world as his own responsibility, dare to correct the mistakes of the people, and expose the crimes of traitors and misbelief. During the period when Lu Zhen was the prime minister, the household servant and the judge Pei Yanling used the credit of the Emperor to flatter the credit of Dezong, "the world is jealous of him". Lu Zhen spoke up and wrote many times to participate in Pei Yanling's crimes. Dezong trusted the traitorous ministers, did not listen to the advice, and dismissed Lu Zhen as the governor of the government in the tenth year of Zhenyuan and was a guest of the prince. In the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, it has been ten years since he was degraded to Zhongzhou.
Lu Yi didn't seem to hear his family's words, and still looked at the sunset on the horizon, until the last wisp of red glow disappeared on the horizon, then he turned around and said softly, but forcefully:
"Go back and pack your luggage, in less than a month, we will go back to Chang'an."
Lu Zhen wanted to go out of the mountain and return to Chang'an, but now there were people who wanted to enter the mountain. Crossing the heavy mountains, in a ravine hundreds of miles away, several ragged people were slowly climbing up, crawling and crawling, a person suddenly turned around and sat down, thrust the knife in his hand into the ground, panted, and said, "Grandma's, don't climb, take a break!" ”
Hearing this, several people stopped, turned around and sat down on the slope, and some even lay on the thatch. All of them are weak, and it can be seen that they are extremely tired.
One of the few people who was short saw that everyone was lying down and didn't leave, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "Everyone, hurry up, hurry up, you can't rest, you can't rest!" ”
The one who lay down first had already pulled the thatch from the ground and put it in his mouth to chew, and said, "How can you not rest?" In the past ten days, we have been chased everywhere, embarrassed, only four of us are left among the twelve brothers, all the horses have lost their money and food, and they are all wounded, and they have not even eaten enough food these days, and they have to catch a snake in the day, but they still dare not make a fire, and now they are still panicking in their hearts, is this a human life? ”
"That's it, that's it!" Several other people also responded weakly. A man with a new scar on his face touched his face and said:
"Grandma! Lao Tzu ate and drank spicy food in Chang'an, I thought it was just a fat difference, who knew that grandma had so many hardships. I knew that I wouldn't have come, and I would have ruined my appearance. Poor Lao Tzu just found a good friend at Mother Xu's house in Chang'an! ”
Several other people smiled when they heard this, and one of them said:
"You kid still remember your good looks, but I don't even remember what a woman looks like."
So they all laughed together. When the dwarf saw that these people were still thinking about women at this time, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and said:
"Brothers, those who have achieved great things are not informal, and they are suffering a little at the moment, and when they arrive in Xichuan, they will ensure that all brothers have money, officials, and women, and how much they want."
When those people heard this, they still didn't move, and the scar said: "Lord Liu, you also change to a reliable one, you have already said this a few times, and the little ones will say it." It's good to get to Xichuan, and the little ones know that it's good to get to Xichuan, but they can't even find the way right now, who the fuck knows where Xichuan is? Lord Liu, you are a big person, you do big things, the small ones just eat with their mouths, but now they can't even eat, and they are starving to death, how do you want to be rich, official, and woman. ”
The dwarf listened but didn't answer, and thought to himself: "These people are so unfortitive, it's better for me to be in case, but this King Shu treats these wastes as his henchmen, and it's not a success to see it, fortunately, our emperor is far away, just don't spoil our big things." ”
It turned out that these people were Liu Pi and the people of King Shu's mansion. On the same day, Liu Pi was sent out of Chang'an by Yang Zhilian, and was followed by Shu Wangfu and his party, so he took these twelve people to Qinling, planning to cross Qinling and return to Xichuan. Unexpectedly, just into the Qinling Mountains, somehow was discovered, was chased and killed by Jin Wuwei and the township soldiers, no matter what, can not get rid of, finally escaped to the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, only seven people remained, unexpectedly the day before yesterday was caught up again, fortunately the other party was few, a fight down, finally escaped by heavy rain, but even the horses and food were lost, was chased into the vast mountains, only knew that Xichuan was near, but lost the way, did not know where to go to Xichuan, so these people are extremely depressed.
Although Liu Bi was dissatisfied, it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he had to smile and say: "I also know that this journey has affected all the brothers to suffer, and it is also appropriate for the brothers to have grievances, but His Royal Highness King Shu ordered you to send Liu back to Sichuan, which stopped here and did not leave, but how did you get to Xichuan?" The brothers still got up, and asked someone in front of the road, maybe they would be there. If you stay here for a long time, it will not be good for the pursuers to catch up. ”
After a long time, these people finally rested enough, and they got up grinding and chirping, and they didn't want to get up. This time, it was Liu Bi who walked ahead. Looking at Liu Bi who was walking in front, the new scarface grabbed a person's clothes and said:
"Brother De, I don't know when I will be able to get out with this guy now, maybe I will be trapped in this mountain. When my brother was leaving, didn't King Shu and Lieutenant Yang both order that if they had no choice but to kill this man, they would kill him first? Not as good as us...... Then turn around and touch it back. If we don't say anything, King Shu won't blame us. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and made a cutting motion.
The one who was called Brother De looked at Liu Bi's stumbling back in front of him, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and the light in his eyes became colder and colder.
