Chapter 540 Kaicheng is released
It didn't cost a penny, which was exactly what the two unfilial sons wanted, and they immediately agreed.
The brothers had no intention of watching crows and owls live, but as soon as the old lady reminded them, they involuntarily paid attention to them when they finished work. It turns out that crows and owls feed their children carefully, and these little ones still open their mouths wide and wait to be fed, no matter how fast their mothers fly around and feed.
However, how will the little one treat his mother when he grows up? The little crow is not bad, the mother is old and can't fly, and she can't find food, so she stays at home, and fills her mouth with food, and when the little crow is old, she has her own children to feed her. This kind of feedback has been passed down from generation to generation.
The little owl, on the other hand, eats her when she is too old to be useful. Sadly, the little owl was later eaten by its own children. Take a bite back like this, and eat one generation after another.
The more the brothers look at it, the more they can't stand it, what if they treat the old lady like this now, what will the children do to us like this in the future? They didn't dare to think about it, and gradually changed their attitude towards the old lady. However, the sky is not beautiful, the brothers have just begun to honor and support the old man, but her old man has passed away, and the brothers regret it.
In order to show filial piety, on the day of the burial, instead of wearing red and green, they imitated the color of the crow's feathers, wore black clothes, imitated the color of owl feathers, put on a sackcloth cloth, and bowed down to worship the road.
Since then, this custom has gradually spread.
After the death of the elderly in many places, when they are buried, they always ask their closest people (such as sons) to bow to the road, kneel in three steps, and bow in five steps. The mourners wore black clothes and a cloak from a sack that was draped from the top of their heads to their waists.
Raising children to prevent old age, as a son of man, the old mother should wear linen and filial piety when she dies, and send her mother to the end. The reason is irrefutable.
Of course, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. And who will follow him home to confirm the situation? However, if he lied and cursed his mother in order to be able to sneak into the city, it would be too bad.
What this man said was a fuse, which exploded in the crowd at once.
Someone immediately chimed in: "That's right! He should have been let into the city. As he spoke, his tone changed and he pulled it to himself: "The lady in my family recently gave birth and gave birth to a son, I am in a hurry to go into the city to see my own son, why can't I let it go?" ”
It is human nature for fathers and sons to share the joy of family. This reason is beyond reproach.
Someone immediately answered: "My lord! Let me go into the city. I have an appointment with Miss Wu in the city, and if I can't make the appointment today, I'm afraid Miss Wu will mistakenly think that I have changed my mind. ”
It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. This is understandable.
Then, the surrounding people had different opinions, and the reasons were a hundred times stronger than Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo was surrounded, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw that the scene was a little out of control, and they did not dare to open the city gate.
The Jinyi guard led by him is displeased, is this going to rebel? He yelled irritably, "Shut it all up!" Whoever makes noise again, catch them one by one! ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately quieted down, and the people were all scared stupid and didn't dare to make any more trouble. They really wanted to go to the city, but they were even more afraid of being arrested and imprisoned.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers guarding the city hurriedly went to open the city gate.
Before the city gate could be opened, I heard the leading officers and soldiers shouting: "Slow! ”
The faces of the brocade guards darkened instantly.
The officers and soldiers defending the city were stunned for a moment, standing still and not having the slightest intention of opening the city gates. They listen to the leader.
Chu Tiankuo was anxious in his heart, and he didn't move, he planned to act when he saw the opportunity.
The Jinyi Guard, who was the leader, had a gloomy face, glared at those officers and soldiers, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze? Turning a deaf ear to my words? Why don't you go and open the city gate and let this son enter the city! ”
Those officers and soldiers who defended the city were ordered to strictly check and not to let people into the city at will. For them, the reason given by the man on horseback for entering the city was obviously not enough to convince them.
"My lord, there is an order from above, you must not let people enter the city at will, please don't embarrass your subordinates." The leading officers and soldiers defending the city resisted under the pressure of offending the Jinyi guards.
Because so many people wanted to enter the city and were stopped, for fear that they would make trouble, for fear that they would expose and report, they really didn't dare to let that son into the city.
"I said let him into the city, let him into the city, there is something to bear for me, where do you have so many words!" The Jinyi guard at the head of the guard, his hand pressed on the saber at his waist, and he looked inviolable and majestic.
The leading officer and soldier defending the city showed a panicked face, but he still gritted his teeth and did not let go: "My subordinates have a task to do, please don't embarrass my subordinates." ”
They were afraid of the brocade guards, but they were even more afraid of disobeying orders from above. The crime of dereliction of duty should not be underestimated. Jin Yiwei said that he would bear it, and if the above blamed it, I was afraid that Jin Yiwei would also be unable to protect himself.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers guarding the city refused to open the city gate, the Shoujin Yiwei had no choice but to use a killer move. He called the leading officers and soldiers to the side and stayed away from the crowd before pulling out a portrait to show him.
The leading officer and soldier defending the city immediately widened his eyes and was stunned when he saw the painting. The man in the painting is none other than a man on horseback, and his eyebrows are exactly the same.
He already had some clues, but he still asked, "My lord, who is the person in this painting?" Why is it so similar to a man on horseback? ”
The leader of the brocade guard chuckled: "That's right, the person on the painting is him." The queen has a will, and when she sees the person in the painting, she opens the city and lets him go. ”
"I see." The leading officer and soldier guarding the city muttered in a low voice, "My lord, don't say it sooner. ”
The Jinyi guard led by him glared at him coldly: "Don't go and open the city gate yet." ”
Didn't say it sooner? If it weren't for this man's tendon and his disobedience, why would he have shown this portrait? The queen has explained this matter, everything must be done in secret, with secrecy as the first, and the less people know, the better. If this man hadn't been stubborn and refused to open the city gate, he wouldn't have let the other party know about it.
The leading officers and soldiers defending the city gave an order: "Come on, open the city gate, and let this son enter the city." ”
Chu Tiankuo didn't know what the two of them had secretly plotted just now, so he agreed to let him go at this time. He hurried to see his father, but he didn't think much about it.
Those officers and soldiers who defend the city, go down and open the gates of the city.
Those people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and reluctantly gave way to a way.
Chu Tiankuo was afraid that they would regret it again, but he was afraid that things would change, so he didn't greet them politely.
He mounted on horseback, pulled the reins, and shouted, "Ride! ”
The horse went forward obediently, and he clamped the horse's belly with all his might, and the horse ran forward in pain, and rushed through the gate at once.
