Chapter 137: The Old Past
"Yes, the old man is indeed a cheat to death, Yang Guang is a person with low eyes, so ambitious, not a person worthy of entrusting the world."
Liu Fang stroked his beard and explained to Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian.
"In that case, why did you go out in the first place?"
Zhang Zheng asked the doubts in his heart, and in the end, he had to cheat to death to get out, so why did he have to be an official in the first place?
"Well, that's a long story."
Liu Fang shook his head, obviously not wanting to elaborate.
But Zhang Zheng seems to have discovered a new continent, and he must figure out the ins and outs of things.
It's really too exciting, the former Sui celebrity cheated to death, if this spreads, at least it can dominate the headlines of Datang Entertainment Daily for a few days.
Everyone has curiosity, and Zhang Zheng is no exception. So, Zhang Zheng didn't seem to understand Liu Fang's words.
Slowly, he said: "Don't worry, we have time, you speak slowly." ”
Liu Fang was stunned when he heard this, pointed at Zhang Zheng and shook his head and smiled, no wonder the news he got said that this kid was as fine as a monkey, it turned out to be such a fine method.
Seeing that this kid was pretending to be stupid, Liu Fang had no opinion on this.
Since some people want to hear it, it doesn't hurt to say it, and it's not something to be seen for.
After recalling the past in his mind, he began to narrate in a flat tone:
"At the beginning, the old man's idea of becoming an official was actually very simple, firstly, he valued the talent of Emperor Wen Yang Jian.
Second, the Mo family has not appeared in the world for a long time, and if I don't go out for a walk, I'm afraid that my Mo family will also disappear in the memory of the world.
The Confucian sage Mencius said: 'In five hundred years, there will be a king who will prosper'.
The land of the Central Plains has experienced the dynastic changes of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the northern and southern dynasties, and has experienced the darkness and turmoil of the Wuhu Rebellion.
For hundreds of years, there has been such a number one person as Yang Jian, and the facts have proved that the old man is not wrong, Yang Jian and his person are indeed powerful to turn the tide of the emperor's capital.
The Han population, which had long been torn apart, had exploded into an incomparable brilliance in just a few decades under Yang Jian's rule.
The decades of Yang Jian's reign can indeed be called a rare prosperous era since the Central Plains Dynasty was recorded.
It's a pity that the old man didn't missee Yang Jian's ability, but he missaw Yang Jian's vision of choosing an heir.
Needless to say, Yang Yong has the mind and ambition of Emperor Xiaowu, but he does not have the ability and wrist to match.
Emperor Xiaowu's brutality and inhumanity have been fully learned, but the clever methods have not been learned at all.
I only know that the army is reckless, blindly expropriating and abusing the people's power. A huge prosperous dynasty in his hands disappeared in just a dozen years.
And he also ended up in a different place and died in a foreign country, which is really sad and lamentable.
The world praises the poems of the great river you made in Tongguan, which are far and vast, and have the atmosphere of a prosperous age. The old man loves the long and short sentences of the first Tong care for the ancients.
In the prosperous times, the old man has experienced it, and in the troubled times, the old man has also experienced it.
Regardless of the rise or fall of a dynasty, it is always the innocent people who suffer, and the world is not so great to the small people, but they are required to suffer such suffering.
After the suffering, the meat eaters are still meat eaters, and how unfair the heavens are. ”
Liu Fang said very plainly, but Zhang Zheng could feel the indignation in Liu Fang's words when he heard it.
It was an indescribable feeling, some anger, lamentation, and a hint of pity from the heart.
Zhang Zheng had never experienced the troubled times, and when he came to this world, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty were nearing the end.
Therefore, he could only see the record of a few words from the history books, and there was no way to empathize with Liu Fang's emotions.
But he can understand this kind of emotion, the family and the country, the world, the feelings of righteousness, the sky, why not this.
It's hard to settle!
After listening to Liu Fang's narration, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian fell silent, there are some things that cannot be put into words, they can only feel with their hearts.
The three of them were silent for a long time, but Liu Fang smiled freely.
"It's all old things, don't mention it, but you two young students, how can you learn from the sour and rotten literati, young people, you should smile more."
After listening to Liu Fang, Zhang Zheng pulled out a smile.
He still had another question in his heart, but he didn't know whether he should ask it or not, so his face was a little tangled.
Liu Fang was a little displeased when he saw this, and said that this kid was a human spirit, but this kind of posture was too unpleasant and not quite to his liking.
"If the little baby has anything to say, don't make that twisting little daughter's posture."
Liu Fang saw that Zhang Zheng was still entangled there, and couldn't help but reproach him.
"Okay, it was your old man who asked me to ask, that kid is blunt, don't be surprised."
Facing this person who may be older than his grandfather, he can't help but be afraid of embarrassment in his heart.
The main reason is that Liu Fang is born with an affinity temperament that makes him want to get close, and Zhang Zheng's problem may not be so respectful to the old man in front of him.
But this question is like a fish in the throat, and Zhang Zheng always seems to have a knot in his heart if he doesn't ask it.
Without waiting for Liu Fang to speak, Zhang Zheng quickly said: "It is rumored in the world that you are always a Huns......
In the end, Zhang Zheng still only asked half a sentence, and out of respect for Liu Fang, the remaining half of the sentence was hidden in his heart and not out.
There is a reason why Zhang Zheng asked Liu Fang about his bloodline.
In fact, it's not just a rumor, if it's just a rumor, Zhang Zheng wouldn't ask it so straightforwardly.
The main reason is that Zhang Zheng read the history books in later generations, and it is also clearly recorded that Liu Fang's nationality is the Xiongnu.
But now Liu Fang has appeared in front of Zhang Zheng as a giant of the Mo family, which is very interesting.
With the exclusivity of the Han ethnic group for blood, as well as the consistent pride of the Mo family.
What could be the reason for a Hun to be in the position of a giant?
According to the current situation that these families with five surnames and seven families are disgusted by Li Er, the emperor and His Majesty who has a small amount of Xianbei blood.
The Mo family actually let a Hun be a giant, this is not as simple as outrageous.
If it is not a mistake in the historical record, then there must be another hidden secret, and unfortunately, Zhang Zheng is very interested in this hidden secret.
When he learned that the Mo family giant was Liu Fang, who had been dead for many years, Zhang Zheng wanted to ask this question.
The reason why I don't want to ask is because in this era, the meaning of this sentence is probably the same as when others say that you are a monkey.
Questioning one's Han Chinese ancestry is no different from pointing at someone else's nose and calling them monkeys.
Because in the eyes of the Datang people, except for the people of the Tang Dynasty, everyone else in the whole world is just a talking monkey.
And after Liu Fang listened to Zhang Zheng's half sentence, he didn't feel that Zhang Zheng was offended by him.
