Chapter 11: His Royal Highness the King of Chu, go all the way!
Soon.
The king of Chu was used as a proton by His Majesty and sent to the Turks, and the news spread throughout Chang'an City.
The entire Chang'an City is composed of 108 squares, each of which can almost be regarded as a small city.
Chang'an Fang.
Yunzhong Street.
This whole street is equivalent to a small village, and there are more than 1,000 families living in total, most of whom are surnamed Wang.
And a small number of non-Wang surnames are only about 20 households.
Today.
All the people of Yunzhong Street, under the call of the respected elders in the street, gathered in the large square of the street, and moved out of their tables to place tributes, as if offering something to the gods.
"Mother, our family is obviously so poor, why did we put out a few things to worship God earlier, I'm hungry, can I eat?"
In one of them, a little girl who was only five years old looked at the tribute on her table and drooled.
She had been hungry for half a day.
The Turks came into Weishui, and all parts of Chang'an City were not maintaining operations, there was no business or business, and they were all thinking about how to escape.
And her mother, who has no other ability to make a living, relies on weaving things for those lords or rich people, and earns a little bit of meager copper plate every day.
That bit of copper plate can only be used to maintain the home of the two of them every day.
And after the Turks hit Weishui, those Chang'an gentlemen still thought about wearing new clothes, all kinds of consumption, etc., all thinking about how to escape, which also caused her family to have no income.
These days, it's all about living on a budget.
In the past, the amount of food eaten in a day could be broken out and eaten for several days.
Originally, my family was poor and couldn't eat much a day, but now I break the amount of food I eat in a day into several days to eat, and I can't eat enough!
So the little girl had not eaten for half a day, in fact, she had only drunk some bark soup half a day ago, and she had been hungry for several days.
"Silly child, my mother is also hungry, but I still have to wait until the worship is over before eating."
The woman crouched down, her eyes gently stroking her child's hair, and there were tears in her eyes.
When talking about her children, she feels that her children are miserable.
A few years ago, just after giving birth, before her father held the child for a few months, the Turks came in and killed her father, leaving them orphans and widows.
Since she was a child, she didn't have a father, and she couldn't eat or dress well, she was still bitter when she was a child, she really was! I really feel ashamed of my child!
And now.......
The woman leaned down and held her child's little head, and her captured eyes looked at the object of worship.
It was a jade pendant.
When I saw this jade pendant.
The eyes that were already sparkling with tears became more and more tears.
"Mother, then I'll eat it later, but why do we worship that jade pendant, not worship God."
The children of poor families are in charge of the family early and sensible early.
The little girl has been hungry since she was a child, so at this time, even if she is hungry, she will not cry or make trouble, the sensible makes people sad, and the sensible makes people resent this troubled world! Angry Turks!
Took away the time when children should be happy and vexatious!!
At this moment, the little girl was hungry and very curious about why she worshipped Yupei.
Speaking of this jade pendant, she also has a little memory.
Two years ago, some thieves learned that the older generation in Yunzhong Street attached great importance to a jade pendant, thinking it was a heavy treasure, and stole it that night.
And the next day, when the people on the street learned that the jade pendant had been stolen, the whole street was furious.
From that day on, the whole street did not participate in any work, even her mother, all devoted themselves to finding the jade pendant, and even organized the whole village to pool money to ask the official to find it, and ask the people in the rivers and lakes to find it.
The mighty operation lasted for five days, and did not stop until the jade pendant was recovered.
It was the first time the little girl saw the whole street, acting together, hating the same enemy, and vowing not to give up until she found the jade pendant, so the memory is especially deep.
And since then, I haven't heard of the jade pendant, but I didn't expect to see it again today.
The woman looked at the jade pendant, her eyes were soft, and her eyes seemed to be a little hot and pious: "That jade pendant, does it have a history, it is the kindness of all the people surnamed Wang on our Yunzhong Street." ”
At this time.
This phenomenon occurs in all places of worship.
Many young and experienced juniors don't understand why they worship Yu Pei, and the older ones will explain it to them.
That's, Eun Gong!!
A lifetime of kindness!!
"Are you all there?"
In front of the stage, a respected old man surnamed Wang asked a junior.
"It's here, Grandpa Wang, all the people surnamed Wang in our street are here, and the other elders of the sacrifice all nodded, saying that they can start, just waiting for you to nod."
The old man surnamed Wang nodded, and then looked at the jade pendant.
That jade pendant.
The work is so subtle that you can get a lot of money even if you sell it.
But a few old people who kept this thing in the street, from beginning to end, no matter how poor they were, never moved the idea of selling jade pendants at all.
That jade pendant!
Great background!
The old man surnamed Wang looked at it, his eyes softened, and he fell into reminiscence.
That was years ago.
They surnamed Wang did not originally live in Chang'an City, but lived further north, in a village called Wangjia Village, with more than 3,000 households in the village.
Life has always been peaceful and good.
Whoever is in trouble in every family will be helped by other neighbors, and it is very harmonious.
And someday.
Disaster is coming!
The Turkic invasion of the Tang Dynasty bore the brunt of these villages on the border!
That day!
The local officials spared their lives and abandoned them.
They became two-legged sheep to the slaughter in the eyes of the Turks.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The old man only remembered that day, and everywhere there were the wanton cries of the Turks and the heart-rending screams of the villagers.
Everywhere there are the deaths of juniors I knew in the past, there are also stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there are ....... houses full of fire.
Despair!
Despair everywhere too!!
And on that day, all the villagers surnamed Wang were full of despair!
That man, he, showed up!!
He led his army and charged the Turks with 500 cavalry, killing the Turks to the point of losing their armor and keeping the few remaining flames in their village.
That man, seeing that the border was not safe after the war, was not too tired to personally arrange for them surnamed Wang to live in Chang'an City, which is also the current Yunzhong Street.
It can be said that without that man, there would be no person surnamed Wang today!!
And that man is the King of Chu!!
King of Chu! Li Kuan!!
The jade pendant in front of you is the legacy of the King of Chu!!
Over the years, they have even enshrined it as a holy object!
Now the proton dedicated to the Turks in Chang'an City is the King of Chu, and the King of Chu has killed many Turks and fallen into the hands of the Turks, how can there be a way to live!!
"King of Chu....... His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I didn't expect that you didn't die on the battlefield, but died in despicable politics, in the hands of villains, and in ....... the one who killed his brother and imprisoned his father and killed his son, Tiance General Li Shimin!!"
The old man's cloudy eyes were full of tears.
He could never have imagined that a hero as unparalleled in the world as King Chu would die in the hands of his own people.
"King Chu, all the way, go well!"
"May you turn into a land god, and you can still bless me after the death of the immortal, and I also wish you, in the next life, not to be born in the ruthless emperor's family, don't, die young again!!"
