Chapter 145 - Who is the Hero in the World?
"Nine days to open the palace, all nations to worship the crown"
As Wang Weishi said, in the palace of the Nine Heavens, envoys from all countries rushed to worship. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info uses the Nine Heavens as a metaphor for Chang'an City, which is the best metaphor. But that's all about the prosperous era of Chang'an, and now the Tang Dynasty is full of rebels, and many foreign clans are eyeing them...... Today's Chang'an City may still be the palace of the Nine Heavens, but it has long lost the grand scene of worship by all nations.
In Chang'an City, the streets in the city are all east-west or north-south, arranged in a righteous manner, the direction is correct, wide and wide, like a chessboard with clear rules. If you think about it carefully, the star-studded palaces and neighborhood clusters, like stars in the sky, and distributed like chess pieces, are simply an endless game of Go. In the past, Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty used a sentence "Thousands of families are like Go books, and the twelve streets are like vegetable furrows" to describe the layout of Chang'an, which can be described as a complete image of Chang'an City.
Chang'an City has thirteen gates, of which there are three gates on each side of the east, west and south, and four gates are open on the north wall. There are thirteen months in a leap year in the lunar calendar, so the thirteen city gates symbolize that there is a leap in a year, and the north end is where the palace city is located, which is the place where the emperor lives and works, and the extra "leap" gate is placed on the north wall, symbolizing the royal "leap gas".
Just in the past few days, people from all over the world have rushed to Chang'an City, among these people are knights, scholars, generals, soldiers. If these people are normal, then others will make you feel strange, most of them come from the nine streams of the rivers and lakes, there are beggars, entertainers, thieves, prostitutes, etc....
At this moment, it seems that the entire Tang Dynasty has come to Chang'an, although they come from all walks of life, they have only one purpose, that is, "ascending to the stage!"
Some of them want to become famous, some want to seize the opportunity to climb to a high position, and some just watch the excitement..... Of course, this is just the idea of most charlatans. If there is a scholar, it is different, no, everyone in the tavern is discussing what they came to Chang'an City for...
There was a man who drank a big bowl of wine and ate a big mouthful of meat, and when he saw that he had a seven-star knife in front of his table, he thought that he was a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw him drink a big bowl of wine, he shouted in a loud voice and said: "What else can you do! This time I came to Chang'an, and the miscellaneous family wanted to use the seven-star knife in his hand to meet the heroes of the rivers and lakes for a while!"
"Haha! A good man is so courageous, I will toast you!" The person who spoke was also a Jianghu man, but he was relatively young and dressed more decently, and after seeing him toast, he held the long sword in his hand and said: "This trip! I am not afraid, I must let the world remember the name of the fast sword in Shuzhong!"
A young man dressed in military uniform on the side, carrying a red tasseled spear on his back, saw that he had listened to the words of the previous swordsman, and also got up and saluted everyone with a bowl of wine and said, "Come from the border pass." In the early years, he served in the army for three years, and now he has come to Chang'an, just to make Taiwan the commander, and since then he has served the Tang Dynasty and glorified the lintel!"
"Cheesy! You are really cheesy! I think that my Sheng Tang Dynasty is now in danger, you don't want to throw your head for the country and spill your blood! Thinking about your own selfish and selfish interests, no wonder the Tang Dynasty will fall so far, no wonder the Tang Dynasty will decline so far!"
When they heard this, they were not pleased, and they all looked angrily towards the place where the voice came. I saw that in the northwest corner of the hotel, where several tables were put together into a large table, and around the table were about 20 scholars, and one of them was just speaking.
Scholars, people who have always been out of place in the world, they are noble, they have lofty ideals, and their backs are always straight. Just like now, even if they get along with everyone, they have their own small circle, just like now they are being looked at by everyone with anger, they are not the slightest fear in their hearts, they are still neither humble nor arrogant!
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, one of the scholars quickly got up and pulled his friend to sit down, then bowed and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. This friend of mine has drunk some wine, and he has spoken a little harder, and I hope you don't take it to heart!"
The scholar who had just sat down snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it? Now the Tang Dynasty is like a flat boat, which will be swallowed by the storm at any time. At this time, it is the time for you and my good men to throw their heads and sprinkle their blood for it!"
In fact, after everyone saw that it was the scholar who said such things, there was no anger in their hearts. After all, scholars, they are all people who grew up reading the books of sages, if this group of scholars didn't say that, they would really despise and look down on them in their hearts!
At this time, the big man holding the seven-star knife clasped his fists and saluted to many scholars: "Don't blame you, don't blame you, we people in the rivers and lakes add blood to the knife every day to live, and life and death have long been seen! Although our sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes do not have the consciousness of your sons, if this Chang'an meeting really chooses a hero that I admire and admire, we will die with the heroes, for the world, and for the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing this, the scholar who had previously despised everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed, so he replaced the cup on the table with a big bowl, and then filled it with a large bowl of wine and said: "It's a fierce wave! I'm here to compensate all the heroes of the rivers and lakes! You and I are both men in the Tang Dynasty, how can you say vulgar and elegant! Dry!" After speaking, the scholar actually drank a large bowl of wine.
Many people in the rivers and lakes watched this scene, and everyone was a little surprised, they couldn't imagine that there were so many weak scholars. "Hahaha!" everyone laughed a few times and then picked up the wine and drank it all.
After drinking a bowl of wine, they no longer have the separation of scholars, Jianghu people, and soldiers..... At this moment, they are all hot-blooded men in the Tang Dynasty!
At this time, the scholar who had persuaded his friend stood up again and saluted and asked, "I heard the hero say the word "hero" just now, and I couldn't help but arouse my curiosity again. Yes, dare to ask all the brothers here, I don't know who can be called a hero today?"
What kind of person can be called a hero? Because everyone's experience is different, the people they admire in their hearts will be different, and naturally the heroes they think are different. Asked by the scholar, everyone in the tavern lowered their heads and thought about it.
As time passed, the scholar saw that everyone did not react, so he saluted and said: "It seems that all the heroes have not thought about it, so let Junshi come and take a look!" After saying this, the scholar who called himself Junshi bowed in the direction of the northern palace city, and then said: "I think my Sheng Tang Dynasty has reached the moment of life and death, and now the new emperor of the victorious lord has just inherited the throne not long ago." The victorious new emperor first beheaded the traitorous ministers and fixed the court, and then opened the treasury to help all the people in the world..... In addition, I heard that the new emperor of the victorious lord is going to build a new dynasty division, so this is why there is a move to make the Taiwan commander, so I think again!
"Good, good, good, well-said, drink a big bowl!" the scholar had just finished speaking, and everyone in the tavern could not help but applaud loudly.
After hearing this, the scholar also replaced the cup with a large bowl, and after pouring a full bowl, he laughed a few times and shouted: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty!" After speaking, the scholar drank it all.
The wind outside the window blew the scholar's robe violently, watching the robe sway in the wind, and the scholar was smiling freely, he stood upright in the wind, no matter how fierce the wind was, he couldn't stand.....
This scene is more like the Tang Dynasty today, although the storm is coming, the Tang Dynasty still straightens up and faces the storm calmly!
Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but shout in their hearts, my generation should be like this!
At this time, the young general who had been carrying the red tasseled spear lightly stood up and gave a military salute to the crowd, then took off the spear on his back, and said while touching the spear: "Then the second hero!
