Book 1: Reading is not a Confucian sour Chapter 29 Where the people are not the people
Hearing that it was Xinzhai's students, everyone's breathing was a little lighter, especially Luo Qingfeng and Qiu Zhi, who came in a hurry, after all, these two were also Xinzhai's protégés.
But when Luo Qingfeng heard these names, he always felt that something was wrong, and he thought about it and asked, "What did you say your name was?"
He asked Ying Tianchang.
Ying Tianchang squinted, looked at this Weiming City Taishou, and said, "Ying Tianchang." ”
"But that Ying Si?" Qiu Zhi asked.
Ying Tianchang realized that he was no longer the little-known young man who escaped from the famine, but a student of Xinzhai who was famous all over the world, and he was the fourth disciple of the Confucian sage Zhang Yuanchun.
He vaguely remembered that Xu Lu had mentioned that the old bookworm had told the world that he was his apprentice, but Ying Tianchang didn't think it had any effect on him at that time, so he didn't think about it. And in the academy, if it weren't for Xu Lu or Zhang Yuanchun appearing next to Ying Tianchang, almost no one would regard him as Mr. Ying Si of the academy, and he belonged to the kind that should not be seen in the eyes.
Ying Tianchang nodded, but Luo Qingfeng and Qiu Zhi began to be suspicious.
And the white-clothed immortal master from Qin Tianjian at the head of the city, in addition to the slight dissatisfaction with Qingshan's punch breaking the cage, there was also something else in his eyes.
"How can it be proven?" Luo Qingfeng said as he stepped forward.
Ying Tianchang and the three of them each took out their own identity documents and road guides.
These things were handed over by Xu Lu to Ying Tianchang, and then transferred by Ying Tianchang to the two brothers Qinghuang. Qinghuang Qingshan was originally a green cow, so it was naturally impossible to have the identity of the Tang Dynasty. And Ying Tianchang's hometown was destroyed by Qi Qi when he was born, and now there is no such place as Taiping Town in the territory of Datang, let alone registering his identity information.
Although these identity documents are all from Xu Lu, they are not forged, and they are issued by the old emperor himself.
In the past, when Ying Tianchang fled from the famine, he never dared to approach this kind of big city that required identity documents and road guides to enter.
The place where Ying Tianchang's identity document is registered on the household registration is Jiangnan Xinzhai, printed with the seal of the Tang Dynasty and the seal of Xinzhai.
The Confucian Academy that can make the academy seal and the jade seal of a country be stamped side by side is only the heart.
The identity document of Qinghuang Qingshan is a little different from Ying Tianchang's document, which is formulated and made by Xinzhai himself, and there is only Xinzhai's seal in the document. This kind of document is not only the identity of a monster like Qinghuang Qingshan in the name of the academy, but also equivalent to acknowledging that Xinzhai will be responsible for everything Qinghuang Qingshan does.
From Xu Lu, Ying Tianchang knew that there was also an official certificate jointly issued by the Tang Tongling Division and Qin Tianjian. The monster spirits recorded in the Psychic Division are recognized and allowed to exist by the Tang Dynasty, and such monsters agree and abide by some rules and obligations set by the court, so that they will not be wanted by the court and hunted down by the righteous people of the rivers and lakes, and occasionally need to contribute to the court. It's just that compared to those official words, even if they are recorded in the Psychic Division, the situation of monsters in the world has not changed essentially, at most they will not be endangered by some capable people, but they are still inevitably blinded by the eyes of the world, discrimination, and of course, slander. Although he has gained some stability in the Psychic Division, he lives more like a slave, so there are very few monsters and spirits who go to the Psychic Division to record and register. The rest of the wild cultivation monsters may envy the monsters who practice in the Three Sects or in some immortal sects on the top of the mountains, but they definitely look down on their fellow clans who go to the Psychic Division.
There are not people on both sides, and Ying Tianchang doesn't know if it is appropriate to use this sentence to describe the monsters recorded by the Psychic Division.
In other words, Ying Tianchang himself would never go to the Psychic Division.
Luo Qingfeng also came out of the body and mind, recognized the unique seal of Xinzhai, and knew that because of the protection of the rules and principles of heaven and earth, even the immortals in the sky could not imitate the seal of Xinzhai.
So when he opened the paperwork, Luo Qingfeng smiled: "Two junior brothers, Mr. Ying, please follow me into the city." ”
Qinghuang and Qingshan glanced at each other, and Yingtian was full of black lines.
"We are also Xinzhai protégés, and when Lao Luo was still in the academy, he was forty-three seats in the Academy of Literature. Qiu Zhi smiled, "I'm from the Martial Academy." ”
Hearing this, Qingshan became interested and walked forward: "Senior brother, the seventeenth seat of the Martial Academy, the Bull Demon Qingshan." ”
The implication is obvious.
Before Qiu Zhi refused, Qinghuang jumped up and slapped Qingshan on the head, and then apologized to Qiu Zhi.
Qiu Zhi waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't be, although I left the academy earlier than you, I didn't have a seat in the martial arts academy when I was in the academy, how dare I fight with the current seventeen seats." But if I have time in the future, it would be good to learn from each other, and I also want to know how strong the seventeen seats of the Martial Academy are now. ”
Ying Tianchang grabbed two words, "after". He remained silent, and looked up at the white-clothed immortal master at the head of the city, and the man also glanced at Ying Tianchang, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and floated towards the city.
Luo Qingfeng asked the surrounding soldiers and generals to return to their positions, and led Ying Tianchang into the city. Qinghuang brought his downed hat back up.
Ying Tianchang frowned.
Luo Qingfeng said: "Mr. Ying Si and the two junior disciples don't be surprised, they are also loyal, since it is right, I can't say anything about them." And that Jiang Ye is subordinate to Qin Tianjian and Ye Guoshi, and is not under my direct jurisdiction, although he does not eat the fireworks in the world, but he has contributed a lot to several crises in Weiming City. ”
"Luo ...... Senior Brother Luo, don't call me Mr. Ying Si. Ying Tianchang is still not very comfortable with the title of Mr., and the young man and the like feel more comfortable than Mr. Master.
"Don't call us that, you can't afford it. Qiu Zhi said behind Ying Tianchang, "You are the apprentice of Mr. Zhang, the junior brother of Mr. Chen, Xu and Li, we dare to call you junior brother or let you call us senior brother? ”
Ying Tianchang said: "Although I am counted as a disciple of the old bookworm, I am also a protégé of the academy now, it is not wrong for you to call me junior brother, and I call you senior brother." Besides, with my current character and virtue, I can't afford to be called a master and a master. ”
This is a sentence against his will, Ying Tianchang never thought of accepting this title at all, and he never planned to be a master.
After these words, Ying Tianchang saw that the smile on Luo Qingfeng's face became brighter and brighter. Although he couldn't see Qiu Zhi behind him, he thought about it.
"If you are a little more angry, it is okay to be called a brother. Qiu Zhi smiled, "Right, Lao Luo?"
Luo Qingfeng smiled, ignored this friend's gag, and said, "Then you are traveling so far? As a senior brother, I want to remind you that you can go to Weiming City, stop here, take a look, and don't go north again." Recently, there have been a lot of chaos in the northwest, and when you leave Weiming City, senior brother can't take care of you. ”
Ying Tianchang was a little surprised to hear the word "care" from Luo Qingfeng's mouth, at first he didn't expect to hear this word from the mouths of people other than the three old bookworms, let alone really being taken care of. It's just that Chen Lin'an appeared later, and Xu Lu, Li Qinglian, Moshuting and others followed, and now they are out of the academy, and there are others.
Ying Tianchang remembered something and asked, "You don't mind if they are monsters?"
Luo Qingfeng sighed, shook his head and said, "In Weiming City and even further northwest, don't talk about demons so blatantly. ”
Ying Tianchang was puzzled, he thought that Luo Qingfeng could frankly call Qingshan Qinghuang as his junior brother, so he didn't care whether they were demons or not.
Qiu Zhi approached Ying Tianchang and whispered in his ear: "Lao Luo and I have met many kind monster friends who are even more like people than people, but we really don't care about the difference between demons and demons. It's just that in the northwest, it's better not to mention it. ”
Ying Tianchang glanced back at the two brothers Qinghuang and Qingshan who followed at the end, and suddenly understood why after leaving the academy, Qinghuang never said more.
Luo Qingfeng did not bring Ying Tianchang and the others back to his Taishou Mansion, but went to the refugee resettlement site in the south of the city. It was still that tea shop, Luo Qingfeng sat back in his position and ordered five cups of tea from the boss that were exactly the same as before.
One cup per person.
"When you come out of your studies, you have to see what you should see. Luo Qingfeng pointed to the refugee area over there and said, "The people there are not residents of Weiming City, but suffering people who have retreated from the northwest. ”
Speaking of this, the paragraph that Luo Qingfeng had prepared was suddenly stuck in his throat and couldn't come out again. He suddenly remembered that in addition to these people who had left their homeland, there were many more people in the northwest who were unwilling to leave their homeland. I don't know if they can still see the oasis they live in that yellow sand.
Weiming City is actually not big, Luo Qingfeng knows this, these refugees today have already made the finances of the Weiming City government tight, not to mention that there is a steady stream of refugees from the northwest to join it. Even if those refugees shouted "Lord Qingtian" and "Living Bodhisattva" on the street, Luo Qingfeng clearly knew that his actions were not a good guard at all, and even in the eyes of other literati, he was an idiot and a fool.
If this continues, Weiming City will collapse sooner or later.
Luo Qingfeng guessed that the imperial court's envoy and the supervision envoy were already on their way to Weiming City.
For Datang, even if there are many people dead in the northwest, this Weiming City cannot be crossed.
Not to mention Luo Qingfeng himself, even his father and grandfather will be implicated.
Unless Luo Qingfeng himself stops here and closes the city gate, it will be a wise move, and it will also be fame and fortune. The imperial court envoys and inspectors who came here will not be to ask the teachers for their crimes, but to appease the refugees and fill in the rich marks for their careers.
But compared to being a good official, Luo Qingfeng wants to be a good person, otherwise he would not have met a chivalrous friend like Qiu Zhi.
It's one thing to think, it's another to do it.
The people in the northwest are the people of the world, but the people in Weiming City who don't know what to do are not? Not the hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains after Weiming City? Luo Qingfeng knows the terrible consequences of the collapse of Weiming City.
He had never felt so much that he was not a reader.
The literati are thoughtful, and they are never a good word.
Ying Tianchang glanced at Qinghuang and Qingshan, and found that there was a touch of melancholy in their eyes.
Qinghuang asked, "Are they because of the Northwest Demon Tribulation?"
Luo Qingfeng's eyes burst out with a light like the rising sun, and Qiu Zhi also looked at Qinghuang with a hint of expectation.
In Ying Tianchang's eyes, it may be more accurate to say that it is a prayer.
Ying Tianchang said: "We are not on a study tour, but the academy arranged for us. Coming to the northwest is to solve the demon plague in the northwest. ”
Ying Tianchang remembered what Xu Lu said and said:
"The peaceful world in the mouth of the reader is to calm the world and help the world to be peaceful. ”
