2. Thousands of miles of starvation
Fang Ping was lying on the Taishi chair in the mountain pavilion in his back garden, the moonlight was shining in the small pool, rippling with pieces of silver scales, and the cool breeze was blowing, but his mood was quite uncalm.
When you close your eyes, you can see all kinds of things during the day vividly, and you will never forget them for a long time.
Of course, the matter of the crazy flower has long been forgotten by him.
"No wonder my father risked losing his head and forcibly opened a warehouse for disaster relief......"
Fang Ping's biological father, Fang Lian, was the superintendent of Heluo Province in the Daqian Dynasty. From the fifth grade, the grade is not high, but the right is not small.
Especially in the northern drought, Fang Lian received the title of Qincha again, and he was in the limelight for a while.
"Alas, blindly being honest and honest, the way of being an official in a peaceful and prosperous era is not like this, let alone ...... now" Fang Ping couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Fang Lian's upright figure.
It's been sixteen years since I came into this world! Since his rebirth, he has vividly remembered everything that had happened in his past and present lives.
Although he couldn't figure out whether he had become Fang Ping or Fang Ping had become himself.
But Fang Lian's love for licking calves in the past 16 years has not been faked in the slightest.
The moonlight shone on Fang Ping's white fingers, and he was stroking the mysterious Pisces jade pendant in his palm.
This jade pendant as a whole is the appearance of a Taiji diagram, which depicts two Ouroboros, one yin and one yang, which are carved from some jade.
"Yu Pei, Yu Pei, you came with me, can you show me the way?"
Fang Ping held the flawless Pisces above his head, and the yin and yang fish reflected the moonlight and exuded a quaint taste.
Fang Ping observed carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
Could it be that it is really just an ordinary jade pendant?
How could the self in the previous life come from the jade, and how could the self in this life be born with the jade?
He has also done a lot of experiments over the years, no matter how much fire burns and floods, and even slashes, but he can't help this jade pendant.
In his last life, he lived in the twenty-first century in another world.
During a visit to the museum, an earthquake was unexpectedly encountered.
After the glass window was shattered, the Pisces Jade Pendant flew towards it like a spirit......
With a trance, when he opened his eyes again, he was already reincarnated, a baby in swaddling clothes!
"This child was born of jade, it's really extraordinary, master!"
β...... I hope he is safe and sound, even if it is an ordinary life! β
"Then if not, let's name him Fang Ping!"
......
With the experience of being reincarnated as a human being, Fang Ping carefully chose to observe clearly before acting.
This world is generally similar to the previous one, but many details are different.
The Daqian Dynasty where he is located should be a mixture of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life. Although the histories are different, the cultural traditions are similar. When Fang Ping was seven years old, he accidentally memorized the first "raise his head to look at the bright moon", and he shocked Mr. Private School to the point that his fingers trembled and he couldn't speak.
I thought that with my "full stomach", I could comfortably be a copyist and be a slaughterer. Drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to control the world or something...... Who knows, this Daqian Dynasty is not popular with poetry and songs, and it is the eight shares of scholars!
Isn't this burying talent!
Fang Pingzheng wanted to compose a poem, using the past to satirize the present, and the disadvantages of the times, but he didn't think that anyone would move faster.
The four words "Xi Ti Chaoqian" were directly changed to a full house.
Fang Ping burned the written poem manuscript to ashes that night......
The prison of writing was tight for several years, and when he was eleven years old, he took the children's exam, and he did not dare to write poetry easily.
I don't have any plug-in cheats, so there is no need to put my life on the line for fame.
finally passed the exam, and it was already twenty-eight years old in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the fact that after his mother died a few years ago, his father had been busy with government affairs, and he would have married and started a family.
Although the pro has not yet ended, it has been decided, and she is the young lady of the Du family in the same county.
It is said that he is virtuous and virtuous, but Fang Ping has never seen it anyway.
Luckily, it's not popular to wrap your feet.
"When today's son is faint and the traitor is in charge, this court is not easy to mix! Do I have to live this life like this......." Fang Ping muttered, touched the fish pattern on the jade pendant, and fell asleep in a daze.
......
"Childe!"
"Childe, wake up!"
"Childe, my lord has returned home!"
Fang Ping felt that someone was gently shaking his arm, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a sword-eyed face.
"Ah Zheng ......"
He got up, stretched, straightened his clothes, and asked, "What time is it?" β
"It's the beginning of the ugly time!" Ah Zheng said with an orange lantern.
"It's ...... so late" Fang Ping frowned, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
When I came to the inner hall of the Fang Mansion, I saw a tall figure in a purple official robe, with a red face, black hair and cheeks, and a pair of starry eyes that were not angry and arrogant.
"Daddy......"
Fang Ping made a gesture in the direction of the Taishi chair, and Fang Lian was sitting upright drinking tea at the moment.
"Hmm......" Fang Lian gently put down the tea bowl and said in a harmonious voice, "Ping'er is here...... Are you out today? β
Fang Ping glanced at Ah Zheng behind him, and without waiting for him to answer, he heard Fang Lian say to himself:
"The passing years are not good, and the countryside is even more dangerous...... People who are about to start a family still act so arbitrarily......"
Fang Ping bowed again: "Daddy said yes!" β
Fang Lian shook his head, although he reprimanded in a low voice, his face was full of concern.
"Daddy," Fang Pingwu sat down and asked with a frown, "What is the disaster situation in the other fifteen counties of Heluo?" β
Fang Lian shook his head again, but this time his face was full of sorrow.
"Alas...... You also saw it in the southern suburbs during the day. The people in the county still have relief to receive, and they still have at least one gruel a day. Farmers in the countryside can only gnaw on tree bark and eat white mud, which is like a withered tree...... My Luonan is the largest county in Heluo, and this is still the case, not to mention others? β
Fang Ping's lips trembled: "So, Daddy opened all the granaries in the fifteen counties?" β
Fang Lian nodded indifferently.
Opening a warehouse to release grain without permission, even if it is for disaster relief and rescue, is a felony!
If the emperor is clear, he may be able to escape punishment, but today's son of heaven ...... Alas, to say that he is mediocre is all lifting!
"After Lu Nan opened a position, Qin Shilu asked someone to participate in me. After this inspection, it is time for me to return to Beijing to report on my work. β
Qin Shilu, the governor of Heluo, the second-grade officer, Heluo is hugely greedy!
This time, the drought in Heluo was so bad, half of it was a natural disaster, and half of it was a man-made disaster!
Donations for disaster relief and funds allocated by the imperial court all went into the pockets of these corrupt officials. They have made a lot of money one by one, where can they care about the life and death of the people!
"Qin Shilu was bold and embezzled disaster relief funds, which made people angry. It is said that a tree of abundant grains was also built out of gold and jade, which was to be dedicated to the emperor to celebrate his birthday......"
When Fang Lian talked about this matter with his colleagues, Fang Ping was listening to the accounts, so he naturally knew the ins and outs of the matter.
After Fang Lian used the power of the Qincha to release grain in various places, he went to Beijing to report on his work in order to sue the emperor! He wants to expose the true face of Qin Shilu and the bigger backers behind him.
"Daddy, it's dark in the world, how can I be a monologue!" Fang Ping frowned, his heart full of worry.
Qin Shilu alone is already difficult enough! He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bribe eighty percent of the officials in Heluo Province, which can be described as collusion and almost invulnerable.
Not to mention the backers behind him. Fang Ping vaguely learned that that person should be one of the four great rulers of the dynasty, and he was powerful!
Fang Lian is alone, if he goes like this, isn't it an egg touching a stone?
"Ping'er, are you afraid?" Fang Lian asked with a smile.
"The child is not afraid, the child is just worried about Daddy......"
Fang Lian showed a look of relief in his eyes and gently patted Fang Ping's shoulder.
"Ping'er, you've grown up. When Dad was your age, he would have started a family a long time ago. β
Then, Fang Lian pointed to the desk again: "Besides, Dad is not unprepared this time. β
When Fang Ping saw the long scroll on the desk, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump.
Could it be......
Fang Lian opened the scroll a little and spread it flat on the tableβit was really that painting!
"A Thousand Miles of Hunger!"
Just after looking at a corner, Fang Ping can only describe it in four words - hell on earth.
"As long as the emperor sees this painting, everything will fall into place. Those who deceive the king, no matter how clever their tongues are, can't change this bloody reality. β
"This is specially invited by my father to be painted by Wumen Danqing, I believe it will be able to move the emperor."
Fang Ping looked at the inscription on the scroll, and it was really the inscription of those four words, known as one of the four great painters in the world.
"This painting is indeed very good, it's just ......" the corners of Fang Ping's mouth twitched.
The emperor celebrates the birthday of the emperor, and everyone offers rare treasures, so you want to send such a picture of hell......
Isn't this the old birthday star hanging for a long time!
Cultural relics and hundreds of officials are offering gifts and adding color, aren't you adding to the emperor's blockage...... A second ago, the emperor was still happy and the wind and rain were smooth, and I was prosperous! The next second, you directly slapped him in the face.
Besides, even if he really attracted the attention of the imperial court, could he still end well?
"Daddy, can't you play a few days later...... At least wait for Halloween ......," Fang Ping said with a sad face.
Fang Lian didn't speak, just looked at Fang Ping fixedly.
Knowing a father is like a son.
Fang Ping didn't say more, he knew his father's temperament best.
Even if his own son commits a crime, he can kill his relatives with righteousness, and for the sake of justice and justice in his heart, it is nothing to give up an old life. After all, time is life, and the sooner he lets the court see this "prosperous scene" of white bones, the people of Heluo will be saved one day sooner.
Of course, this is just Fang Lian's idea. He was making a big gamble, a big gamble that blocked his official fortunes, his life, and even the future of the entire Fang family.
Fang Lian put away the scroll and asked his subordinates to put it up.
"Almost, it's time for me to hit the road."
"Ah, in such a hurry?"
Fang Lian nodded: "The sooner this matter is revealed, the people will be saved one day earlier." Heaven is clear, my way is not alone......"
Only then did Fang Ping understand that Fang Lian had come to see him before leaving.
Fang Lian stood at the door, although his back was a little thin, but it was so tall that even the stars in the sky seemed small.
"Daddy......" Fang Ping wanted to keep it, but he didn't know what to say.
Fang Lian took two steps behind his back, as if he had thought of something, he stopped again, turned his head and said lightly:
"Ping'er, if your father doesn't come back, what should you do?"
"I, I will follow my father's path and continue to walk."
Fang Lian smiled, his brows furrowed with a smile: "Idiot, if Dad can't come back." You just run as fast as you can, as far as you can. β
Fang Ping was stunned, this was an answer he had never imagined.
......
On June 25, the seven-day Halloween Festival is coming to an end.
During this period, the whole capital is extremely gorgeous, and the lights and candles are bright, like day. The colorful shed is sandwiched, the flags are fluttering, and the songs and dances are jubilant. Huang Tong has white hair, and he is a leader and a peerless person.
The palace is even more golden and green, the brocade is wrong, the lanterns and candles, the mist is misty, the song and dance are leveled, and the clouds are colorful.
The gifts offered by the princes and ministers, the antiques of the previous dynasty, the curiosities of the current dynasty, the calligraphy and painting of Hanmo, and the masterpieces of craftsmen, although the world is in the north and the south, there are thousands of roads, and finally the palace is gathered.
The big ones are like the ancient trees of green lychees, and the many are like 10,000 square meters and 10,000 pictures of longevity, and so on.
The most honorable person is none other than the "Five Grains Harvest" offered by Qin Shilu, the governor of Heluo, which is made of five-foot-high East China Sea coral decorated with various colors of gold and jade gemstones.
There is even more saying: In the land of Heluo, the disaster has gone, the people are grateful for the grace of heaven, and merchants from all over the country offer a treasure tree.
Emperor's Heart.
Qin Shilu has made meritorious contributions to disaster management and has many awards.
When the court meeting was about to rest, suddenly a person came out and knelt down, crying like a complaint.
When he presented the "Thousand Miles of Hunger Map", the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all of them changed color.
Qin Shilu's henchmen accused Heluo of supervising the imperial history of being honest and bullying the monarch, opening a granary privately, and being lawless.
Diyan changed slightly.
That is, it was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly, and Zhang Jie, the supervising envoy of the Governor's Yuan, and Zhang Jie, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, jointly accepted the case.
Heluo supervised Yushi Fangping, and was imprisoned pending trial because of suspicion!
