Chapter 13: The Trapped Beast

The two followed He Jianheng's frame to the Hou Mansion, and when He Zi got out of the car, he noticed Shentu Town and asked him which family's child he was. Shen Tuzhen replied truthfully, saying that he had admired He Zi for a long time, and he was fortunate to see him today.

At the age of seventy, He Zi was still in good spirits, stroked his gray beard and said, "Shentu Gongzi...... Your father was a man of great faith! When I see you today, I know that you will live up to his expectations! ”

"He Zi praised, he was ashamed to be late!"

In fact, it is not that Shentu Town admires He Zi, but Shuying admires He Zi.

He Jianheng is famous, and he is also a figure like Zhuge Kongming.

At the end of the former Liang Dynasty, the powerful minister Xiao Daoliang was against the coercion of the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, raised troops from Henan, united with the righteous division of the world, and successively captured Sichuan, Shu, Longxi, Huguang and other six provinces. Seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, He Jianheng came out of the Qionglong Mountain in the starry night, and galloped to Yangzhou to offer Xiao Daoliang a good plan for governing the world.

As a result, the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted, and they captured the north of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, forcing the former Liang Emperor to sigh across the river and die in anger. The new emperor is incompetent, and the Liang Dynasty has no backbone that can command the overall situation, coupled with the royal nobles fighting for power, the Liang Dynasty is already at the end of the crossbow, and how Prince Ren Minghui saves the crisis is useless.

After Prince Ming Hui died in battle, Emperor Liang surrendered and abdicated in the capital Jinling, and a prosperous generation came to an end, and the country changed hands. Emperor Taizu Xiao Daoliang took Luoyang as his capital and established the current Great Zhou Dynasty.

And He Zisuo supervised the "History of Liang", the line is elegant and clean, the narrative is concise, and the shadow is very fond of watching it, and it is fascinated. Because of this, Shen Tuzhen thought of a way to let her come to meet her in men's clothes so that she could have a glimpse of He Zi's demeanor.

After Shen Tuzhen met Lu Tongyi, he sat down with Mo Sheng and looked around, looking for her traces.

Shuying was not used to wearing men's clothes, so it took a lot of awkward work to dress up and trot all the way. I saw a thin little man squeezing out of the crowd, almost squeezing out the huge hat. She held Shen Tuzhen's arm and panted and said, "Whew...... I'm not late, am I? Has He Zi arrived? ”

"Don't worry, if you don't come, how can they start?" Shen Tuzhen said with a laugh.

Mo Sheng looked at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you!" ”

"Brother Mo! You're here too! Mo Baishi and Ling Tang are still healthy? Is Sanniang okay lately? I just recently heard that she has been married to the Chen family, and with such a good marriage, you all hide it from me......"

She asked excitedly, Mo Sheng pretended to be impatient, and joked with Shen Tuzhen: "Peping, this little brother of your family can really speak!" Before the show even started, my ears hurt! ”

"It always has been."

Shen Tuzhen looked at the face of the girl in front of him carefully, and felt that she seemed to be thinner than before, and there was a little more sadness in her eyes.

The last time she wore men's clothes was a long time ago, when she was so naughty that no one could tell it was a girl; This time, she covered half of her face with a big hat, but she still couldn't cover the flow of her eyes and the gentleness of her demeanor, and her thick eyebrows were the best proof of the naΓ―ve and clumsy skills of disguise.

No matter what, she is still her, a little girl who has nothing else in her brother's heart.

Suddenly, he felt some abdominal pain, and it turned out that she threw her arm and punched herself hard.

"For the long disrespect, it should be beaten!"

Shuying taught Shentu Town a lesson, and began to pester Mo Sheng to ask questions, as if the two had not been in contact for decades, but today they met here by chance, and there were endless words.

Maybe she didn't have a close friend in the Hou Mansion, so she had to hold everything in her stomach, and she had to vomit it today! Shen Tu Zhen thought.

While speaking, Hou Ye accompanied He Zi to the crowd, and everyone sat down separately after saying hello.

In order to keep her safe, two men sat in the back row with her. She looked around from the brim of her hat, but she didn't see Lu Qi.

Shen Tuzhen found her looking, and patted her head through her hat: "Don't look around! Put your hat on and lower the brim! If you are found out like this, you will go to jail! ”

"You made me here!" She was not convinced, but she was still scared in her heart, so she obediently lowered her head and folded her arms in front of her chest.

Lu Tongqi said a few polite words such as "you have been waiting for a long time", and He Zi stood up and announced today's topic. The strange thing is that this time one person gave a lecture, and the rest of the talents came to refute him, which is quite a tongue war.

Only then did she realize that this person must be Lu Qi. The old marquis and He Zi are both first-class cunning in this regard, and favoring him can also convince people with favoritism!

Unexpectedly, everyone waited left and right, but the protagonist still didn't come, He Zi seemed to be unable to sit still, and first of all, he talked a lot about the situation in the imperial court. He pointed out that at present, the major feudal towns in the surrounding territory are crumbling, and their survival is only a matter of day, and it is very likely that they will collapse in less than ten years.

Shuying naturally supports Ho Tzu's point of view.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty followed the example of the Tang Dynasty to defend the frontier with feudal towns, but it inevitably led to the major feudal towns to support the army and respect themselves. The people don't know the Great Zhou, they only know the festival, and the world will inevitably be in chaos in the long run. As long as the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty is strengthened according to the conditions of the times, it will usher in the rule of peace, in fact, the establishment of feudal towns is only an expedient measure.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and she looked up and saw that it was Lu Qi coming from outside. He first saluted He Zi as a teacher and student, and then turned to face everyone, and everywhere he looked, there was silence.

"The foundation of the country and the flow of the source lie in the people, and when the ten festivals are set up today, it is intended to stabilize the Quartet and benefit all the people. But now there are wolf-hearted dogs, bullying the people, supporting the army and self-respect, and even more in order to seek rewards, they wantonly expand their territory and forcibly recruit soldiers, which has aroused a lot of resentment among the people! ”

Someone stood up and refuted him: "In the prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperors of the three dynasties ruled the world with the words 'benevolence' and 'virtue', and it was the emperor's foundation to expand the territory and stabilize the Quartet. ”

"Heavy taxation has public grievances. Our dynasty tax follows the rent adjustment method of the previous dynasty, but the time has changed, because of the peaceful and prosperous era that Jun said, the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty has doubled, there is no sufficient number of fertile land under the average land system, and the land obtained by the leader is insufficient, and he has to pay a fixed amount of rent, and the peasants cannot afford it, so they can only flee! I have now raised a great army to open up the border, and I have left only old and young women in the fields and villages. It's a pity that you, born in a rich land and a anointed land, eat the corpses, and don't know that the people are hungry! What you are saying is really a view of sitting in a well and watching the sky! ”

"Lu Zixian, you and I are both in the imperial court, if I wait to sit in the well and watch the sky, you are also one of them! I opened up my territory to regain the lost territory and recuperate with the people. If there is no Taza, Nassan, Xiliang and others to intrude on the border, why do they raise troops to calm down? If it really comes to the time when the Yi tribe enters the Central Plains, we are completely powerless, can you still be alone? ”

"What you said is very true. Zi Xun was in the Lu family, and he did not have the courage to fight against the rebellion of the Yi tribe. If the national disaster is imminent, they should not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood, which is the spirit of our deserving. However, you don't see that the rats and villains are slave and servant, and they are raging in the court, mutilating the loyal and good, and causing chaos in the country! If such a villain who does not care about morality and etiquette is allowed to guard the border fortress and raise troops to fight, I really don't know whether it is the courage of the court or the death of the court! The founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still twenty and one, the foundation is not stable, it is better to treat it preferentially, but also to set up a mutual market at the border, exchange with each other, this is the policy of both worlds, promote the prestige of our country, strengthen our country's strength, and people's livelihood. ”
