A few months later, after several tosses, he finally returned to his hometown of Datang, and the moment he set foot on the land of Lingnan, everyone became excited.

"Feng Ang abdicated back then, Feng Zhidai was in power, and he has spared no effort to open up overseas for many years, and at the same time look for you, Zhidai this kid, not bad!" Li Yuanba said, "But later the second brother abdicated, Lingnan was squeezed out by the imperial court, and the Feng family was forced to transfer to South Vietnam, and later laid Tianzhu as a fief, and gradually alienated from the Central Plains, however, the Feng family has always been to Australia in the past dynasties." ”

With a long sigh, Li Yuanying said: "When I went to sea back then, Li Zhi didn't know how to walk, so naturally he didn't have any feelings for me. Fortunately, it wasn't Cheng Qian's brothers who killed each other, otherwise, it would have been me who was incompetent as a teacher. ”

Li Yuanba laughed, "Hahahaha, Goro, you don't know yet, right?" If you talk about being a teacher, your reputation has long surpassed Mr. Wenji, and you have chased after Sage Confucius, and now your tablet is enshrined in the school. No one in the Tang Dynasty knows that the Qin Wangfu is full of heroes, and it is a waste, and after the training of the Qin Wangfu, it can also be reborn. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" The people did not believe.

So, Li Yuanba gave an example, "Do you remember when you were fighting locusts, the two wastes of Hongnong Yang's family?" After your training, he later became a diplomat with Lao Qi, and his achievements were not under Zhang Yi and Su Qin in history. ”

Ahem, it's all luck.

…… Can you not pretend to be forced?

From south to north, I walked for another two months, and I didn't rush too much. Emperor Taishang Li Yuan wants to see the changes in the Tang Dynasty in the past century, of course, he must look from the bottom to the upper level, see it thoroughly, and look carefully.

It's a pity that along the way, the more I go, the more disappointed I become. Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and it has never been seen in the past, but the imaginary country and the people are safe, the old have support for the young, and the people are not very happy. Even the miserable things I saw along the way were worse than the time scene of Zhenguan a hundred years ago, and it was almost worse than the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"Goro, could it be said that this world is going back more and more?" Near Luoyang, in a wine shop and teahouse in a mountain town, Li Yuan said with emotion.

"The reincarnation of heaven is not because of Yao's existence, not because of death, it has been like this since ancient times! The general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be combined for a long time, at this time the Central Plains chaos has been revealed, or less than ten years, there will be a military disaster. Li Yuanying said in a deep voice.

At this time, an old beggar with gray hair and a wine bowl next to him stood up, walked straight to Li Yuanying's side, looked carefully, and asked with doubts: "Housheng, why is it so categorical?" ”

Li Yuanying said in his heart that if we want to explain this clearly, I am afraid that we have to start from the basis of the theory of contradiction.

"Chaos or not, just look at the people, you know that the people's heart is the heart of heaven. If the people are not able to make a living, it will be like this pot of boiling water, and one day, the accumulation of anger will open the pot. ”

Everyone followed his fingers to look at the water stove next to him, and sure enough, after a few breaths, the kettle boiled, and the steam rushed to open the lid with a beeping sound.

The old man who ate the wine thoughtfully bowed slightly to Li Yuanying, "Shopkeeper, give Gongzi a pot of good wine on this table, count it on my account." ”

"Huh? Old beggar, you owe your daily drink money on credit, and you still have the heart to invite someone to drink? Today is a strange day. Although the shop was sarcastic, he did not deter him, and still gave a pot of good wine, which shows that although the old beggar is poor, he has a good reputation here.

Li Yuanying thanked him, and seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, he asked curiously: "Uncle, if you don't mind, how about drinking at the same table?" ”

The other party shook his head, "Lao Suo, I am covered in mud, don't dye my son's robe." ”

"Hahahaha, where? Whether it is clean or not is not in the appearance of the clothes, the heart is clean and the body is clean, please! Li Yuanying got up and let the old man sit down.

Seeing that the other party was talking well, the old man sat down half-pushed and half-pushed, and looked carefully at the people at the same table, so strange, the top was a white-haired old man, and the snow-white-haired old man was sitting with him? Is there a mistake? Here is a middle-aged and an offspring, and on the opposite side is a girl and a young boy.

The old beggar drank a bowl, put down the wine bowl and asked: "Hou Sheng, I heard you talk well and have extraordinary knowledge, like you went to Chang'an to seek fame and serve the country, right?" Since you can encounter a disaster, I don't know, is there a way to solve it? ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanying shook his head, "Nothing! In the face of the general trend of the world, the power of the individual is always small. However, if you can't let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, then the court has no meaning of existence, and it should be changed to change the dynasty. ”

Hiss! Silence! The old man reached out and covered Li Yuanying's mouth.

His voice was not small, and many people in the entire wine shop and teahouse looked over here, but when they saw that the other party was dressed luxuriously and had a lot of entourage, they all guessed that it was a dragon crossing the river, so no one dared to think crookedly.

The old beggar sighed: "When Taizong was in the Dynasty, King Qin once said that water can carry a boat or overturn a boat!" Several generations of kings of the Tang Dynasty have worked hard to create this foundation, and the people can finally have enough to eat, and I don't know how many years they can last? ”

Yo, listening to the old man's tone, it seems that he is also a person with a story and a background. Take it upon yourself to help him fill the wine bowl.

At this moment, a butcher rushed into the liquor store, came straight to the old beggar and knelt down, "Sir, please sir, please save your life!" ”

"Oh? Zhang butcher? What are you doing? ”

The butcher slapped himself fiercely, "Little old man, I have eyes without beads, I have offended the ghosts and gods, I beg Mr. to help me draw a statue of Zhong Kui to descend the golem, so that the town house is safe." ”

The old beggar got up, said goodbye to everyone, picked up his wine bowl, and followed the butcher Zhang away.

Everyone was curious, and they also followed, saying that this old beggar would also paint?

But a quarter of an hour later, everyone was stunned, a few strokes, but already saw the charm, less than a moment, a statue of Zhong Kui appeared on the wall of the butcher, the old beggar asked the butcher to come with the blood of livestock, with blood as ink to draw Zhong Kui's robe. Finally, the liquor enters and sprays into the painting, adding a murderous aura.

"Good! Good painting! Old Li Yuan stroked his palms and praised.

Li Yuanba nodded and whispered: "Although it is too far from the real Zhong Kui's appearance, this artistic conception is enough for the town." ”

Good guy, in the whole world, I am afraid that there is only this master, who dares to say that he has really seen Zhong Kui himself.

Xiao Doudou tugged at his father's sleeve and whispered, "Daddy, this old man's painting is about to catch up with you." ”

Li Dali, who was next to him, asked in a low voice, "Sister, the fifth uncle can also paint?" ”

"What do you mean? My dad is known as the world's first painting. I used to draw a picture of a ...... riding a mythical beast."

Li Yuanying grabbed her daughter and coughed lightly: "Don't talk nonsense. If I'm not mistaken, this old man is Wu Daoxuan, a doctor of the palace and an internal teacher, and a senior of Wu Daozi, who is known as the saint of painting. ”

Well?? The old beggar was slightly stunned, but he smiled, "The next life admits that he is wrong, the old man is a down-and-out beggar, but it is not a palace offering." ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand slightly with everyone, picked up the wine bowl and walked away. In the crowd, there was a young offspring, staring at the old beggar for a long time.

Li Yuanying saw it clearly, calmly walked over and patted the other party's shoulder, "Boy, fame and fortune are comparable to life in your opinion, but in front of others, it is all dung." If it is for personal fame, do not hesitate to be a bad person, hehe, be careful to eat the consequences. ”

The latter was slightly stunned, then became annoyed and angry, and shook off Li Yuanying's hand, "I don't know what it is, what's the matter with you!" ”

"Humph! and thou shalt not live. Li Yuanying's eyes were slightly cold.

"Daddy, who is he?" Xiao Doudou asked.

"A villain who is chasing fame and fortune. Go and find a place, and your father will draw a picture, and then you will give it to the old man, and you will be able to save his life in the future. ”

Early the next morning, the old beggar received a pure sketch portrait of him drawing a close-up of Zhong Kui. Signed, Tang Qin Palace. At the same time, along with the painting, there is also a piece of Qin Wangfu waist card, a sentence: with this painting and waist card, there is nowhere in the world to go, you can go all over the world to paint at will.

The old man Wu Daoxuan's eyes were full of tears, and he bowed in the direction of Li Yuanying and his party going west. At that time, as the first painter of the court, he was strictly ordered by the emperor not to paint without being called, since then a pair of painter's hands, was put in shackles, sealed pen can not paint, the center of the sour and desperate, can be imagined.

Now, when I have to meet the descendants of the Queen of Qin, I finally got rid of the shackles and got out of the cage, and I deserved to be drunk!

Half a month later, a villain scholar took the people of the Luoyang government to arrest Wu Daoxuan, and finally the Qin king's waist card came out, and everyone was frightened. The government immediately dealt with the villain scholar in private, and several villains who knew about it quietly sent Wu Daoxuan to the south, and no one mentioned a word about the Qin Palace.
