Chapter 287: Letter from Chang'an
Zhang Zheng knew that this Hai Dongqing was Li Wucun's lifeline. If it weren't for something particularly important, Li Wucun would never let Xiaoying cross the distance of most of the Tang Dynasty to send a letter to him.
So Zhang Zheng didn't open the letterbox called by the eaglety for the first time. Instead, he first asked the soldiers who accompanied the army for some raw meat, and then washed the mud off his body with clean water.
Then he took off the letterbox, and as soon as he raised his arm, Hai Dongqing spread his wings and flew into the sky. shook the water stains on his body, and turned into the handsome condor again.
When the information was delivered, Hai Dongqing spread his wings and returned north without hesitation! The feeling of uneasiness in his heart for many days finally had an answer, and Zhang Zheng's hands trembled a little.
"Let's see, what's going on in Chang'an!" Li Chengqian came to Zhang Zheng's side and urged Zhang Zheng to open the letter.
Zhang Zheng unfolded the letter paper in his hand according to his words, and the two got together and read the content on the letterhead.
It's just that the more I read, the more my heart sank! In the war in the north, more than 300,000 civilians died in this game, nearly 5 million people left their homes and became displaced people, and the lives of more than 10 million people were affected by the war.
His Majesty disappeared, and he appeared in Hebei again, accepted the family's peace conditions, and forced Lao Li Gang to death...... One by one, one by one, the blood and tears were shocking, and the two of them were stunned.
"Teacher~" Finally, seeing that the old Li Gang was forced to die, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore. With a cry of sorrow, the whole person was unstable on his feet, and he fell to the side!
"Hmm~" After reading the letter, Zhang Zheng only felt a tightness in his chest, a sweetness in his throat, and a stream of reverse blood went straight from his chest to his tongue!
Zhang Zheng clenched his teeth and swallowed the backlash back into his stomach. It's just that my mind has been filled with anger.
The chest cavity was more like it was about to burst, and the anger in his heart almost made Zhang Zheng lose his mind!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The Feng brothers stepped forward one from the left and one from the right to hold Li Chengqian, who was unsteady on his feet.
"It's okay to be alone!" Li Chengqian's face was pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief. muttered, "Why, why?" "His most admired father, the emperor, forced to death his most respected teacher!
How should he deal with himself? Zhang Zheng's eyes were red, and he also wanted to rush to Li Shimin and ask why?
300,000 innocent people died tragically and millions were displaced. The teacher was forced to die. Why, why exactly?
Obviously there is a better way, obviously I am already working hard, I can do without bloodshed, and I am already working on the layout.
Why, and why do we have to use this means to achieve our goals? In an instant, Zhang Zheng felt resentment towards Li Shimin in his heart, and in an instant, he was a little disheartened.
I just feel that everything I do is useless. buried so many so-called wonderful hands, complacent, but still being chased like a dog by others.
Now it has involved 300,000 innocent people and become the souls of the family under the butcher's knife. What an interesting man he was, with an incomparable mind and a pedantic knowledge.
What a kind little old man, just forced to death! In an instant, Zhang Zheng fell into deep self-blame.
If you didn't come to Datang, or if you pretended not to know when the locust plague came. I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to engage in movable type printing, nor would I have gone to whimsical academies.
I can still happily be a second-generation gentleman who runs rampant in Chang'an and does whatever he wants with his father's power......
"Huh!" Zhang Zheng laughed miserably, his eyes were dark, and the mouthful of blood in his chest couldn't help but spit it out.
"Uncle......" Feng Zhiyi hurriedly handed Li Chengqian to his brother, and then came over to pick up Zhang Zheng.
The Feng brothers were extremely depressed in their hearts, what happened to these two people, they were dizzy when they said they were dizzy, and they didn't hesitate at all.
In the evening, Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng, who had woken up, sat opposite each other.
"Cheng Qian, I want to go back to Chang'an to see the teacher first!" Zhang Zheng spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Together!" Li Chengqian's voice was also extremely dry, and his eyes were bloodshot. Old Li Gang was forced to die, Zhang Zheng was sad and angry in his heart, but it was Li Chengqian who was even more uncomfortable.
Li Chengqian is the prince, and everything he knows is taught by the old Li Gang. How to be a person, how to do things, how to deal with government affairs, how to run yourself.
Li Chengqian's three views were all shaped by this interesting old man. It can be said that the old Li Gang, the teacher, has been with Li Chengqian for much longer than Li Shimin's father.
In Li Chengqian's heart, the status of the two is almost equal. But now, his most respected teacher has been forced to death by his father.
That is his father, Zhang Zheng can still resent it, he is not even qualified to hate, the infinite sadness in Li Chengqian's heart, who to say?
As soon as they said go, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian only brought ten personal guards who came out of Chang'an. Then he left the Feng brothers behind and let them enter Beijing by themselves.
crossed the river overnight and rushed in the direction of Chang'an by taking advantage of the moonlight. …… In Chang'an, Lao Li Gang's funeral is going on in an orderly manner.
Lao Li Gang has no children in his life, and only one daughter has already been married to a wife. The daughter and son-in-law who got the news of Li Gang's death from their hometown in Huizhou rushed to Chang'an with their son and daughter-in-law, as well as their grandson and granddaughter.
Lao Li Gang has been an honest and honest official all his life, and no one has entered the ranks among his descendants. But this does not mean that Lao Li Gang's funeral is shabby!
Lao Li Gang was in Zhang Zheng's ears, and he showed off more than once that he was a peach and plum all over the world! At that time, Zhang Zheng only thought that this was a little old man who liked to brag.
It wasn't until Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian rushed back to the academy that they found out that Lao Li Gang really wasn't lying. The people who wore filial piety for the old Li Gang lined up from the academy to the county seat of Weinan, stretching for more than 20 miles.
Old Li Gang's coffin has been parked in the main hall of the college auditorium. After the mourners had seen his face, they would bury him on the other side of the Toyo River in accordance with his last words.
Lao Li Gang has explained, and his hospital has grown into a towering tree of the Tang Dynasty. When Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an, Lao Li Gang's funeral also entered the final process!
Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian looked like servants in the dust, their faces were withered, their lips were chapped, and they still looked like half-rich and handsome noble sons.
"Teacher!" As soon as the two entered the mourning hall, they saw that Lao Li Gang was still lifelike and sleepy after more than 20 days of placement.
Finally couldn't hold back the tears! The Imperial Doctor didn't know what was placed in Lao Li Gang's coffin.
Not only does it not smell of corpse decay, but there is a faint fragrance. And the body of Lao Li Gang was also unharmed from the living and was not stiff.
