Chapter 18: The Past of the Court (1)
In the first year of Shiyuan and Yuanfeng, there was the early death of the auxiliary minister Jin Riyan, and then the auxiliary ministers Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang were destroyed by the Son of Heaven and the Huo Guang clan because of rebellion. In addition to pacifying the rebellion of Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang also had a good strategy in governing the world, attaching importance to the rule of officials, inspecting the virtuous, and governing the prison of the Ming Dynasty, reusing a large number of capable ministers, exhorting Nongsang, lightly dispensing with the thin endowment, resting with the people, discussing salt and iron, repelling Wuhuan, and pro-Xiongnu, pacifying the southwest, welcoming Su Wu to return to the Han Dynasty, the people are full, the four Yi guests are served, and they are deeply favored by the Son of Heaven. There is only one point, Huo Guang is accustomed to the ups and downs of the court, knows the rise and fall of the family, and only hopes that his descendants can inherit the throne and continue the scenery, so he is a little selfish, and constantly promotes the children of his relatives, his son Huo Yu, Huo Yun, Huo Shan, son-in-law Fan Mingyou and others, even cousins and relatives have occupied important positions in the court, firmly grasped the center and guards in the palace, and weaved a large web that is intertwined and spread all over the court, and Huo Guang is the spider in the web, and the Son of Heaven is just a thing in the net. In this way, they are all obedient to Huo Guang on the surface, but secretly they have also attracted many criticisms, and the silk of the spider web is shaking from time to time, but fortunately, Huo Guang is alert and kills all the enemies who come to attack. Although there are no two masters in the sky, the sun and the moon can shine together. Under the "sun and moon hanging", everything went smoothly in the major events of the DPRK and China.
"Great-grandmother, just let me go, I'll definitely follow my uncle." The illness has dragged Shi Zhenjun's hand and shook it straight, the hairy little doll was gone, the illness has followed the three uncles every day to learn some boxing styles, and learned some Confucius and Mencius ways, and gradually grew into a knowledgeable but healthy young man, although he is only ten years old, but not shorter than others twelve or thirteen years old, eyebrows, eyes and figure have seen the charm of the late prince. It's just that in front of this ancestor who loves him the most, he is still used to using coquettish means, because the ancestor eats soft and not hard.
Shi Zhenjun was annoyed by him, and said with a hard tone: "It's okay to go, take off the mirror on your arm and put it at home, and don't say that your surname is Liu, say that your surname is Shi, you are a child of my Shi family, do you remember it?" ”
"Remembered, remembered." The illness has been smiling, and Shi Gao was originally pestered by him, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this year's wind and rain were smooth, the taxes were light, and there was a bumper harvest of millet in Shi's manor, and Shi Gao and his wife contacted the buyers in Chang'an, ready to transport several truckloads of corn to Chang'an.
The ox carts were already moving slowly, but now each cart was pulling thirty or forty stone of grain, and they were walking even slower. I have been sick from time to time to get out of the car to fold some leaves to feed the cattle, sometimes to the stream on the side of the road to play in the water, always feel that the scenery in front of me is like an experience, like a dream, so unfamiliar, but my great-grandmother has always said that his grandparents sent him to Du County since he was a child in order to take refuge, maybe this kind of vague memories is really an illusion.
I thought that my uncle's family was not poor, but I followed my uncle to take food and entered Chang'an, and I opened my eyes. After finishing his errands, Shi Gao took him around for two days, bought some ordinary cloth, prepared to bring it back to the cloth village in Du County, and bought fashionable and good fabrics for Shi Zhenjun. The cockfighting racecourse, restaurants and wine shops in Chang'an City are really eye-catching, and sometimes there are dignitaries and dignitaries riding through in cars, beautiful women and maids, armor and warriors with sharp blades, and people from outside the territory who are completely different in clothes and appearances, this kind of liveliness is by no means comparable to Du County, but the more you look at it, the more you have a familiar feeling, this feeling is so real, so close, it's really strange!
On the third day, the illness reluctantly followed Scott to prepare for the return trip. As soon as I got out of the inn, I saw a commotion on the street, many people were running in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and some people shouted: "Look at the big excitement, look at the big excitement!" ”
Scott pulled an old man who was carrying the piano and asked, "Uncle, what happened?" ”
The old man glanced at Shi Gao and said, "You haven't heard, the prince is back, and the prince is not dead!" ”
Shi Gao was shocked in his heart and said: "What prince, isn't there no heir today?" ”
The old man said "Huh" and said: "Where is this, where are you from, I don't understand this, it's Prince Wei Liu Ju, I have long heard that he is fine, and he is still in the world, he was harmed by that damn Jiang Chong back then, Jiang Chong really deserves to die, how good the prince is, to eliminate harm for the people, my daughter who is harmed by dogs no longer dares to sing on the street, and she has become a slave doctor......"
Before he finished speaking, an old lady next to him shouted: "You talk a lot, you don't die!" The old man was frightened, turned and left.
Shi Gao listened to it sincerely, afraid that his grandmother would be unhappy if he caused some trouble, so he thought for a while, and said to the sick man in the car: "It's to see the excitement, we still have to hurry, so we won't watch it." ”
He jumped out of the car and said seriously, "No, I must go and see it." ”
Shi Gao understands the nature of his illness, he said that "certain" things must be done, besides, he is so sick that he has not seen his relatives, if it is really his grandfather, it would be too ruthless not to let him go. He put his arm around his sick shoulder and said, "Yes, but I have three conditions, first, don't speak, second, don't tell the old lady, and third, I say go with me when I go, and I can't procrastinate." The illness has smiled and agreed.
Before they reached the palace gate, they found that they couldn't squeeze in at all. The road was full of people, even on the houses there were many brave people, and some people climbed the trees to look down. Some are wearing official uniforms, some are wearing ayara, and more are small people wearing coarse cloth. Some shouted, "Stomp on my feet!" ”。 Some are asking again: "Do you see, is it the prince?" ”。 Some sighed: "The prince is a good man, and he pardoned a few of us." Some people said to themselves: "The prince is back, where is the little son of heaven." Some people scolded: "Don't talk nonsense." All kinds of voices were mixed like rolling thunder, Chang'an City has never had this kind of battle since the prince and Liu Quyu had tens of thousands of people in close combat, as if the whole city had come out.
The illness couldn't care about the scolding of others, and pulled Shi Gao to drill forward desperately, but he actually squeezed into the heart, and he couldn't go any further, and more than a dozen feet away was a group of people in high-crowned clothes, although there were many people, but no one spoke. The leader of the group wears a crown of birds, a silk robe, a purple hakama, a sword in his left hand, and a back in his right hand. The ministers were followed by a large group of armor soldiers, and behind the armor soldiers were many fat horses and light carts.
The sick can't take care of this rare scene, and his eyes fell on a ox cart, the ox cart is quite dilapidated, but there is a dragon pattern apricot yellow flag, and there is a tall and thin man sitting on the car, wearing a yellow scarf on his head, wearing an apricot yellow coat, the man has his back to the sick, and he can't see his eyes.
"Is this Grandpa, look at him." Sickness has been secretly thought. He was about to ask Shi Gao something, but Shi Gao gagged his mouth with his hand, and he had no choice but to stare at the man on the ox cart, but the man did not move, as if he was waiting for someone. In less than a moment, a lean man came, walked up to the man with the sword and whispered. The illness only heard someone next to him whispering: "This is Jing Zhao Yin Jun is undoubted, this is a ruthless character." He was already frightened, and saw that the man had brought a few armorers who were a head taller than him, and they had taken the people in the ox cart down and taken them away! There was a commotion from the crowd.
The illness was already beating suddenly, and tears flowed out unconsciously. As soon as I pulled up my clothes to wipe them, I heard a little girl beside me say softly, "Why are you crying!" To give. As he spoke, he handed over a small plain square scarf with two words crookedly embroidered on it.
The little girl is half a head shorter than the disease, the body is petite, the skin is like curd, the black shoulder hair is simply tied with a powder belt, crooked on the chest, the eyes are clear and clear, the eyebrows are like willows on the pond bank, the nose is like a small Dai by the pool, the lips are like spring peach blossoms, the corners of the mouth are upturned and not smiling, just a shallow dimple.
"Is this from Du County, it seems to have been seen somewhere, so familiar!" I was sick and wondered, but when I thought of my embarrassment, my face turned red.
"Give." The little girl thought that she had not heard clearly, so she said it again, and the sound was like the ding dong spring water that had just flowed in early spring. I don't know why I'm sick, I'm ashamed and I don't know what to do, and my body doesn't obey me at all.
At this time, a woman next to her reproached: "What are you doing, the girl's family, go home for dinner." ”
The courage to get out of nowhere, he grabbed the scarf and turned his head and ran, and the harmful Shi Gao hurriedly caught up.
