"Jin Se gratuitous fifty strings, one string and one pillar Sihua year" is a true portrayal of Li Shangyin, and the years of his life are also full of this inexplicable color. Inexplicably involved in political disputes, inexplicably demoted and promoted. Just like his poem "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo", even if he doubts that life is a dream, Li Shangyin also maintains his unique sobriety and introspection in the dream. Whether it is his few side poems or the epic poems and allegorical poems that occupy most of his poems, they all show his sobriety, and after countless battles and hesitations, he recognizes and accepts reality.

Whether it is Li Shangyin's personal experience or the Yuanhe three-year science field case, it is a manifestation of the collapse of the political foundation in the early late Tang Dynasty, and the "Niu Li Party Dispute" that lasted for more than half a century is just the tip of the iceberg. What the Niu Li Party struggle reflects is a series of contradictions, including the struggle between eunuchs, civil officials, military attaches and imperial power, and more importantly, the struggle between the Shandong Shi and Shandong Han and Jiang Zuo Shi doctors. In addition, the iceberg behind the Niu and Li party disputes was also the struggle between the wealthy families left over from the Wei and Jin dynasties and the rise of small and medium-sized landlords led by scholars and doctors brought about by the imperial examination system, which led to collusion and even fighting between friends and even rivalries around their respective interests.

Although Wu Zetian intended to suppress the Guanlong group during his reign and made considerable achievements, the power of the Hao clan did not completely disappear. A great duel was fought between the small and medium-sized landlords who arose by virtue of this imperial examination and the old landlord class that was still remnants in Li Shangyin's time, and this duel had a violent shock to the cornerstone of the entire Li Tang Dynasty, and the powerful Tang Dynasty lost the best period of its rise after decades of internal strife, and inevitably went to the sunset. The final victory of the Niu Party also made the situation of feudal towns that plagued the Tang Dynasty unresolved, and accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shangyin, bathed in the last afterglow of the glory of the Tang Dynasty, chose to accept reality in the last period of his life. In his many images of twilight, there have been dissatisfaction and irony with reality, as well as emotional catharsis for his own encounters, but at the turning point of his life, he still made a final farewell to the slowly ending Datang with the sigh of "the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk". The end of the Tang Dynasty is an inevitability of history, and Li Shangyin's sideplug and dusk are the peak of the Chinese spirit: even in the deep quagmire, they are still worried about the world, and even if they are at the end of the day, they do not resent history.

After the sun set completely, the three teams of us were really out of touch, and the first group, as the front team, was already close to the entrance of the ancient tomb discovered by Zhao Zhen last time. The latter two groups took up residence in two villages two miles away from us, while the second group also sent several groups of secret sentinels to operate on the periphery as a countermeasure.

Hu Bin's plan was very thorough, so that the ancient tomb was controlled within a radius of several kilometers, and the advance and retreat were well-founded, and it could be attacked and defended.

After a while, another group of people was late. The person who led the way was Yelu Qinghui, whom Hu Bin had met earlier in the ancient tomb. It turned out that after they came out of the ancient tomb, they agreed to go into the tomb again to hunt for treasure, but this time they acted together.

"Yelu Qinghui is late, Boss Hu is still asking for no wonder."

"Brother Yelu is polite."

Hu Bin and Yelu Qinghui exchanged a few words, and then began to discuss the next action, during which they also glanced at me from time to time, probably talking about something related to me.

"Who is this man?" Chen Yina whispered in my ear.

"I don't know." I had no choice but to shake my head, so far I haven't been able to tell Chen Yina the truth, not because I'm worried that she will know that I've seen Yelu Qinghui and there is a danger of reporting it, but because I'm worried

Hu Bin will smell some "clues" through Chen Yina's abnormality.

With the lessons learned from the previous time, the first half of the journey to the tomb was much smoother, with few obstacles and no particular losses. However, most of the people here have never witnessed the bloody scene last time, and they can only imagine how strange and terrifying the scene was and how difficult the road below would be from the corpses lying on the ground.

"Stop!" Ahead is the trap of Hu Bin in distress last time, it is estimated that because of fear, Hu Bin stopped the team early, "The road ahead is an unfamiliar section, everyone must play with the spirit of twelve points, and must not take it lightly!" ”

"Li Zhimu, Li Lizhi, you two go ahead and see the road." Hu Bin pushed the two subordinates beside him, "Hurry up!" ”

Li Zhimu and Li Lizhi were coerced forward by Hu Bin, they trembled, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, for fear of encountering danger ahead.

I don't know if they were too nervous, forgetting the trap reminded by Hu Bin, Li Lizhi, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted loudly, and when everyone took the miner's lamp to shine again, they found that the person was gone, and everyone was in a hurry.

In this matter, Li Zhimu ran to the front, ran to the place where Li Lizhi disappeared, and shouted loudly to the ground: "You don't have anything to do, right?" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Li Lizhi had fallen into the trap that Hu Bin fell into last time.

"Damn, this idiot, a trap went in twice!" Zhang Liqun sneered, "Jon, you pull people up quickly, let's hurry up." ”

"Don't be surprised."

Jon looked at Li Lizhi who fell into the trap and stretched out his hand, but at this moment, Li Lizhi below shouted loudly: "You hurry away, something is coming down there, you hurry up and go away." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the trap.

Zhang Liqun, Zhao Zhen, Yelu Qinghui and the others glanced at each other, and immediately ran towards the place where Li Lizhi fell into the trap.

But just as he was about to approach the trap, five more holes suddenly appeared in the place where Jon walked, and several of Yelu Qinghui's men also fell into it.

At this time, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, Jon over there was still looking into the trap, not knowing what he was looking at, and Li Lizhi's gunfire in the trap had not stopped.

Finding that there were no more holes in the ground, several people began to try to get closer to the edge of the cave to see what was in the trap.

Just when everyone was just starting, a person was suddenly thrown out of the hole, and the whole person suddenly lay on Yelu Qinghui's body.

Yelu Qinghui was also taken aback by this sudden person, but quickly calmed down.

Just as Yelu Qinghui was about to push away the guy who was pressing on him, suddenly a drop of something dripped on Yelu Qinghui's face.

Yelu Qinghui touched his face, put it in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Don't go near those holes, there are fucking things inside." ”

Everyone was shouted by Yelu Qinghui, and combined with what Li Lizhi said in the cave trap just now, everyone suddenly didn't dare to move.

Zhang Liqun moved closer to Yelu Qinghui, and looked at the person who was lying on Yelu Qinghui's body and was now thrown aside, and found that this person was dead, and the death was outrageous.

Zhang Liqun shone a flashlight, his face changed, he turned around and whispered to Hu Bin: "Why are these people dead like this, it shouldn't be right." ”

"Zhao Zhen, take a look, is it the 'corpse monkey'?" Hu Bin immediately spoke.

Zhao Zhen listened to Hu Bin

As soon as he said that, he had to look at the dead man, and wondered in his heart.

"That person's entire body has been blurred by gnawed flesh and blood, and the bite marks should be caused by a corpse monkey, but then again, corpse monkeys can't make holes, is this something else?" Just as Zhao Zhen hesitated, wanting to take a closer look at the dead man's wounds, Li Lizhi had already been pulled up by Jon.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Li Lizhi, but at first glance, he was immediately attracted by the wound on his body.

Zhao Zhen slowly walked towards Li Lizhi, walked to his side and asked, "What do you see down there?" ”

Li Lizhi replied breathlessly: "I almost died inside, why are there so many fucking toads in it." ”

After listening to him, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What kind of toad is it, do you see it clearly?" ”

Li Lizhi raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhen, and roared: "I can still see clearly, and when I see clearly, I will be bitten to death." After speaking, he lowered his head to tidy up his wounds and ignored them.

Zhao Zhen was yelled at by Li Lizhi like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable, coughed twice and said to Jon: "Give me your gun, I'll go down and have a look." With that, he stretched out his hand and waited for Jon's reply.

Jon raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhen, then at Li Lizhi, who was bandaging himself, and then at Hu Bin, who had not spoken, and said in embarrassment: "Zhao Zhen, I don't mean to be a boss, I ......"

Zhao Zhen stood up and changed his voice and said, "Okay, you just keep the gun to protect your boss, I'll borrow someone else's." After speaking, he walked slowly towards Yelu Qinghui without looking back.

Walking to Yelu Qinghui's side, Zhao Zhen glanced at the dead man lying on the ground and said, "Do you want to know what your subordinates were killed by?" ”

Yelu Qinghui had been thinking about the cause of death of his subordinates, and was asked by Zhao Zhen for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't answer Yelu Qinghui's question, but continued to ask, "In which hole was this subordinate of yours thrown out?" ”

Yelu Qinghui saw that Zhao Zhen did not answer his own question, but continued to ask himself, thinking about what kind of identity he was, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, turned his head and stopped looking at Zhao Zhen and replied: "I don't know." ”

Zhao Zhen listened to Yelu Qinghui's words and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yelu Qinghui to be angry because he didn't answer his question, so he said: "I want to go down to see what the situation is, just now Li Lizhi said that he met a lot of toads below." ”

Yelu Qinghui, who had been sulking beside him, was also surprised when he heard Zhao Zhen say this, and turned around and asked, "What kind of toad?" ”

Zhao Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, so I wanted to go down and see what the situation was, so I came over and wanted to borrow a gun from you." ”

Yelu Qinghui smiled and said, "What to borrow, isn't mine yours." After speaking, he said a word to a man with a gun next to him, took the gun and handed it directly to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the gun and said to Yelu Qinghui: "If I don't come up within ten minutes, you don't have to wait for me and continue to move forward, remember not to touch anything, I think the soldier in front of me seems to have a problem, so you must not touch it, you know?" ”

Yelu Qinghui glanced at Zhao Zhen, nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely come back." After speaking, he smiled at Zhao Zhen again.

Zhao Zhen smiled back at Yelu Qinghui, and then asked Yelu Qinghui which hole was thrown out of the ground by his men. Yelu Qinghui was no longer angry with Zhao Zhen, so he simply pointed it out to him.
