Chapter 640, The Rebellion of Young People
Yang Peng laughed and said, "Okay! Well said this maggot with bones! Isn't Confucianism a maggot attached to the bone! What kind of monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers, sons, in the words of those grandsons, how the emperor tosses the common people, it should be, Lao Tzu wants his son to die, and his son must die! Absurd! The emperor is a bastard, the common people can slaughter the emperor, the emperor depends on the people to support, there is nothing noble at all, let alone kindness at all; If Lao Tzu doesn't care about the life or death of his children, his children can not recognize this Lao Tzu, and don't say anything about the grace of birth and raising, Lao Tzu is either because he is lustful, or because he hopes that the old will be supported, he will give birth to children, no one is to create a person and create a person, why blindly ask for children! People should get along with each other naturally, and there is no need to list a moral code! ”
Zhang Feng and Zhang Tong were very excited when they heard Yang Peng's words, although they had read Confucian classics since childhood, but in fact, they had long been dismissive of the rules and regulations specified by Confucianism, but this kind of thinking, under the high pressure of Confucianism, was too shocking to be tolerated by the world, so the brother and sister have always hidden their true thoughts in their hearts, even in the face of their father, they never said it. However, today Yang Peng said everything they wanted to say in their hearts, and they only felt extremely happy and excited.
Zhang Feng praised: "Lord Yan Wang is no longer right!" It's good that my parents are very good to me and my sister, and my sister and I love them from the bottom of our hearts. However, some parents are very tyrannical to their children, so why should their children be submissive? Why is it necessary to emphasize that children owe their parents kindness and must repay it; There is a similar problem between the emperor and the people, no matter how bad the emperor is, Confucianism always says that the ruler is kind to the people, and the people want to know how to repay the kindness, I really don't know where this favor comes from? Could it be that the people chose this emperor, shouldn't the emperor owe the people a favor? I think it's ridiculous! These Confucian monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons are just like heavenly rules, overwhelming people! He smiled, "But I didn't dare to say these things in the past!" Now, even in front of my father, I don't dare to say it! ”
Yang Peng smiled, feeling that these two young people were active in their minds, and they were not bound by the traditional so-called morality, maybe they were materials that could be made, so he asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”
Zhang Feng and Zhang Tong glanced at each other, and Zhang Feng smiled: "I want to wait until the beginning of spring next year to go to Bianliang to participate in the examination and see if I can gain something." As for her sister, hehe, she's not too young, just find a good family to marry! Yang Peng laughed. Zhang Tong blushed and said with a sneer: "Brother, why can you make a difference, and I can only get married?" ”
Zhang Feng said in surprise: "Is it possible that sister, do you still want to enter the officialdom?" ”
Zhang Tong glanced at Zhang Feng, "Isn't it okay?" Looking at Yang Peng, seeing Yang Peng looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly lowered his head, and his cheeks were red.
Zhang Feng picked his head and said, "It's not impossible, it's just that my brother didn't expect that you would have such ambitions, sister!" Zhang Tong raised his head, showed admiration, and said, "I want to be a great heroine like Princess Yelu and Princess Han Bing!" Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Sister, you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you be a heroine?" It's impossible to be like Princess Yelu and Princess Han Bing, but you can follow Huang Qiaoyun, Lord Huang! Zhang Tong nodded, "That's not bad!" ”
Yang Peng said: "There are still several months before the next exam, during this time, you might as well go to the university for further study, it should be very helpful for you!" The two brothers and sisters showed excitement, Zhang Feng pointed to his nose and asked, "Brother Yanwang, can we go to college?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." Yanyun's universities will conduct tests every day, and those who are interested in entering the university can take the test, and after passing, they can enter the university elective courses. "Yanyun University originally only conducted entrance tests at a fixed time every year, but later considered some practical problems, and made the entrance test a daily work of the university. Students who want to enter the university can go to the university at any time to register, determine the time of the test, and after passing the test, they can enroll. In the university, the time is not fixed, and each person can decide the end time according to their own situation, and they can also end their studies and enter work according to the needs of the university and the government.
After listening to Yang Peng's words, the two brothers and sisters couldn't help but be eager to try, and then their faces showed worry, obviously worried about whether they could pass the test.
Yang Peng smiled: "I, the king of Yan, still have some privileges, since you want to enter the university so much, I will use my right to recommend you to enroll, so that you don't have to take the test." The brother and sister were pleasantly surprised, but then shook their heads together.
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Don't you want me to recommend it?" ”
The two said gratefully: "Brother Yan Wang treats us so kindly, we are really grateful!" But we want to get into university on our own! ”
Yang Peng showed appreciation, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's also a kind of exercise!" The two laughed.
Yang Peng smelled the aroma of beef in the pot was almost there, so he stood up and walked to the iron pot, pulled out the dagger on his waist, stretched it into the pot and inserted a large piece, tried to take a bite, only to feel that the meat was soft and fragrant, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad!" Just right! Then he greeted everyone: "Come, come, let's eat!" Seeing this, the two brothers and sisters hurriedly stood up and walked over, and a large group of people took daggers or long knives to insert beef into the pot, and the scene of commotion was very lively; The brother and sister liked the atmosphere very much and felt unrestrained.
They took their beef and returned to where they had been sitting, took the kettle from their waists, and chatted while eating and drinking, while someone handed out pancakes to everyone.
Yang Peng couldn't help but smile when he saw the two brothers and sisters looking at a large piece of beef in front of them. Turning his head to give an order to one of the guards beside him, the latter immediately agreed, put down the food plate and ran down. After a while, the secret guard returned, and at this time he had two more daggers in his hands, and he held the daggers in both hands and handed them to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng picked up two daggers and handed them to Zhang Feng and Zhang Tong's brothers and sisters, the two brothers and sisters were very happy, took the daggers and said, "Thank you, Brother Yanwang!" Then he drew his dagger, and did the same as the others, slicing off the beef piece by piece, and then inserting it and eating it, with a slightly clumsy movement. The brother and sister had never eaten food like this before, and they both felt very fresh.
At this moment, by another bonfire not far away, a captain of the secret guard suddenly sang loudly: "Brother, my dear brother, remember when I was a child, we were inseparable," and everyone couldn't help but sing along: "At that time, we lived carefree!" Brother, my dear brother, now when I grow up, although I go my separate ways, when I am tired, I will always think of you, brother, my good brother......"
Zhang Feng and Zhang Tong, brother and sister, felt that although the words of this song were very concise, they were very moving to listen to, and they couldn't help humming along.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother one, two, three, four, five!" The guards followed and shouted, "Brothers, ten hundred thousand! Brothers meet three bowls of wine, brothers talk about two cups of tea; Brothers fall in love with each other, and brothers talk to each other; …… Brotherhood is a wine without color, and brotherhood is a home without walls! The crowd burst out laughing, and took a sip of water instead of wine.
The two brothers and sisters of the Zhang family looked very excited when they looked at such a scene, and they both liked the feeling of staying with these cool men. ……
In the dead of night, Zhang Tong, as usual, finished reading the book under the lamp and was ready to rest. He put the book back into his baggage and blew out the oil lamp. Just as Zhang Tong was about to lie down in his kimono, he inadvertently saw Brother Yang Peng strolling alone in the distance. A feeling of curiosity came to me, and I stood up and walked towards him.
Yang Peng was thinking about things while strolling under the moon, and he was thinking about Yan Yun's next move: "Now that the Central Plains and Han have been unified, it's time to expand the territory!" But you can't rush it, you have to do it gradually! Now that the Han land has just been unified, there are still many things to do, and we have to wait until all the internal problems are solved before we can expand externally with peace of mind! I'm afraid that the results of rushing will outweigh the losses! When he stopped, he looked up at the bright moon in the king's sky, smiled slightly, and muttered: "However, you can take Dali first!" Since betrayal, then you have to pay the price! ”
Turning around, he was surprised to see Zhang Tong standing not far away, looking hesitant in a dilemma. Yang Peng smiled: "It's you?" Why haven't you rested yet? ”
Zhang Tong immediately panicked, only to feel a heart pounding, "Well, I, I can't sleep either!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Since you can't sleep, let's go for a walk together!" Zhang Tong poked his head abruptly, his eyes sparkling, and nodded. Yang Peng likes this girl very much, and feels like her little sister.
The two walked side by side under the moon. Zhang Tong lowered his head and kept thinking: 'Brother Yan Wang wants me to accompany him for a walk, is it, could it be that he, he is actually interesting to me!? Oops, shame on you, I, I must have misunderstood! Brother Yan Wang, how can he look down on me! ……’
Yang Peng saw Zhang Tong sometimes shy, sometimes frowning slightly, and couldn't help but feel curious and asked; "Girl, what are you thinking?" Zhang Tong had already come back to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! Didn't think anything? Seeing Yang Peng looking at him, he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, and he only felt as if the other party had discovered his thoughts.
Zhang Tong felt as if his mind had been discovered, and he was so panicked that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Peng.
Yang Peng smiled and felt that this little sister was really cute. The two continued to stroll, Yang Peng didn't have any bad feelings, but Zhang Tong felt very shy and embarrassed, so he mustered up the courage to find a topic and said, "I saw that Brother Yan Wang seemed to be thinking about things just now?" ”
Yang Peng nodded with a smile, sat down on a big bluestone under a mulberry tree, looked at the mountains and mountains under the night in the distance, and said, "I'm thinking about foreign expansion!" Zhang Tong couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "I think war is always not a good thing!" ”
Yang Peng nodded and said, "But it's not a good thing, it can be said to be a painful thing." Needless to say, defeat is not to say, even if it is defeated, there will still be countless brothers who will die on the battlefield! Zhang Tong nodded and said, "That's it!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and said, "However, this kind of thing is like taking medicine, like exercising." The medicine is so bitter, taking medicine can be said to be a kind of torture, but why do you still need to take medicine? Exercising is hard, but why do you have to exercise? Zhang Tong said: "Taking medicine can cure diseases, and exercising can make you healthy." ”
Yang Peng nodded, "Not bad." And the same is true of what war is meant to achieve. Seeing Zhang Tong's beautiful face, he smiled and said: "If a country wants to survive, it must maintain enough sense of distress and must maintain enough fighting spirit!" And to keep it, you have to fight with others, and war is the main aspect of the struggle! This is to maintain the health of a country, just like a person must take medicine and exercise in order to be healthy! It is not easy for a country to survive, just like a person, and if it cannot accept the pain of struggle, it will not be able to have the right to survive and develop! ”
Zhang Tong nodded thoughtfully.
Yang Peng smiled: "Speaking of which, I'm going to talk about Confucianism again." Confucianism's emphasis on peace is like a person who does not take medicine or exercise, can such a person live a long life? Therefore, if you govern the country with Confucianism, if the country is not ruined, then it is called a ghost! Zhang Tong laughed, then sighed, and said, "What the eldest brother said is really a wise saying!" It's just that it's still hard for me to accept war! ”
Yang Peng nodded and said, "No one is willing to accept war, unless they are crazy!" Zhang Tong asked in surprise: "Isn't even a big hero like Brother Yan Wang unwilling to fight?" Yang Peng smiled: "I'm not crazy, naturally I don't like war!" Zhang Tong realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "I, I lost my words!" Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand. Turning his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, he said, "Do you know what my greatest wish is?" ”
Zhang Tong looked at Yang Peng's side face, and felt as if he was the big brother next door, and he never thought that he would be the Yan King of the world. came back to his senses and said: "Big brother is a big hero, big brother must want to build a great empire that has never been seen before or since, and will shine for thousands of years!" ”
Yang Peng laughed, shook his head and said, "I'm not that great!" He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tong and said, "My wish is to take my wife and children one day to live in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, no longer care about state affairs, and live a comfortable life!" Zhang Tong was surprised, and then smiled: "This wish, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will never be able to realize it!" The eldest brother is destined to be the emperor! Yang Peng smiled. stood up and said to Zhang Tong: "It's not too early, rest early!" Zhang Tong answered, and the two returned to the camping area and slept separately. Zhang Tong was lying on the bed, looking at Yang Peng, who was already asleep in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart, feeling that this mighty Yan King seemed to be different from all the emperors of the past and present, and he seemed to have a very natural bearing, as if he was integrated with all things in this world. I closed my eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, everyone cleaned up, had a brief breakfast, and set off.
Yang Peng turned his head and saw Zhang Tong following behind him, who was actually red, and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked curiously: "Sister, what's wrong?" Why are you so red? When Zhang Tong heard Yang Peng's question, he was flustered, his heart was pounding, he lowered his head and shook his head: "No, it's nothing." Yang Peng felt that there would be no big deal, and seeing that she didn't want to say, he didn't ask.
Zhang Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Peng didn't ask any more. The elder brother Zhang Feng next to him leaned over and whispered, "I'm also wondering!" Sister, when you came together this morning, my brother saw that your face was flushed and you were unspeakably shy, what happened? Could it be that you had some dreams at night? Zhang Tong was told by his brother that he was in his heart, and said angrily: "There is nothing to do, brother, don't do much!" Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Tong and said with a smile: "It seems that my brother guessed it!" That's how you are young, as long as your brother guesses what you think, you are so anxious! Then he asked curiously, "Sister, what kind of dream did you have that made you look like this?" Zhang Tong was so embarrassed that he turned his head and ignored his brother. Zhang Feng smiled and stopped asking.
In this way, the group stayed overnight on the road, and a few days later several people came to a town store. From a distance, I saw a sea of people in front of me, as if everyone was in a hurry to participate in some activity. Yang Peng stopped a middle-aged man who was running and asked, "Uncle, is there any activity ahead?" ”
Seeing that these people in front of him were basically dressed in armor and had a fierce and disciplined demeanor, the middle-aged man asked in surprise, "You, are you Yan Yunjun?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. The middle-aged man became very excited and asked, "Your Excellency must be a general, right?" I don't know which general it is? Yang Peng smiled: "My name is Yang Peng." ”
The middle-aged man frowned and muttered Yang Peng's name, and said with some disappointment: "Haven't heard of this name?" I thought it would be some famous Yanyun warrior! Yang Peng laughed and said: "I really don't have any fame." The middle-aged man came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed: "The grass people have seen the general!" What a rude grass folk just now! ”
Yang Peng pointed to the crowd surging in the distance and asked, "What happened over there?" ”
The middle-aged man said excitedly: "It seems that the general doesn't know yet!" The Holy Maiden of Mingjiao came to our town today and is giving medicine to the people! ”
Yang Peng suddenly realized, and said secretly: "Most of these people are so flocking to it, I'm afraid most of them are not because they are sick, but because they want to see the peerless face of the legendary Ming Sect Holy Maiden!" When I thought about it, I felt a little funny. The middle-aged man bowed and said, "The villain is going to rush over!" That's it! Then he turned and ran in that direction.
Yang Peng said to everyone: "Let's go over too." Then he led the people to that direction.
Zhang Tong stepped forward and asked curiously, "Brother Yanwang, is the Holy Maiden of the Ming Sect they are talking about the daughter of the Ming Sect Master who was destroyed by the imperial court before?" Yang Peng nodded and said, "It should be her!" If it weren't for her, it would be a fake! Zhang Tong asked curiously: "I heard that this saint girl looks like a fairy, and she is a rare beauty in the world?" Chen Xiao smiled: "What it looks like, you will be able to see it later!" Zhang Tong looked ahead, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
The group came to a stop outside the crowd. He stretched his neck and looked inside, only to see the door of a wooden house on the opposite side of the crowd open, and the people were going in one by one, and the people who came out often had medicinal herbs in their hands, and the women were all elated, while the men were all fascinated; However, looking into the door, there was no saint in sight, only a few flying phoenix girls guarding the hall and the door, and the saint must be in the backyard.
Yang Peng was reluctant to cut the queue at the gate, so he said to everyone: "Let's go to the back." Then he led the group to the back door.
The group came to the back door and saw that there were also Feifeng female guards guarding the back door. Several Feifeng female guards noticed that someone was coming, and they all looked over. Seeing that the leader was King Yan, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Meet King Yan!" ”
Yang Peng turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. The female guards thanked them, stood up, and still stood with their heads bowed. Yang Peng asked, "Is Miss Fang inside?" Several female guards said together: "Yes! One of the female guards continued: "The holy woman is giving medicine to the people here!" Yang Peng hummed and walked in. The Zhang siblings and a few secret guards followed in, while the brigade stayed outside.
A few people came to the backyard, and saw from a distance that people kept walking into the back hall, and people kept coming out, and the back hall was surrounded by female guards.
A female guard hugged her fist at Yang Peng and said, "Go down and report to Miss Fang!" Yang Peng nodded. And the woman went down. Yang Peng walked to the gazebo in the backyard and sat down. After a while, I saw a girl dressed in a white palace dress, unearthly, like a fairy, following the female guard. Zhang Feng was stunned, and Zhang Tong couldn't help but lose his mind, both of them were fascinated by each other's other's otherworldly and stunning temperament.
The female guard led Fang Jinzhi to the outside of the pavilion and said, "Miss Fang is here!" Then he stepped aside. Fang Jinzhi stepped into the pavilion with broken steps, and Ying Ying bowed: "The people's daughter Fang Jinzhi greets His Excellency the Sect Master!" I don't know that the sect leader is coming, and he has missed the welcome, please atone for his sins! Yang Peng smiled: "Why be so polite, come, sit down and talk!" Fang Jinzhi agreed, walked to Yang Peng and sat down, neither humble nor arrogant, but kept a distance from Yang Peng. Zhang Feng came back to his senses and saw that the peerless fairy was sitting not far away, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
