Chapter 319: The Li Clan Should Be the Son of Heaven
"Daxing City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven and the capital of the Great Sui Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the Son of Heaven is now dead and the Great Sui is in chaos, as a native of Daxing, I don't ask you to enter the phase, but you must not be in charge of cheap business! This point of pride of the people of the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty must not be lost!"
This was taught to him by Hou Si's dead ghost father, Hou San. After saying this, Hou San ascended to heaven with his pride.
Hou San starved to death.
He was originally a scholar, and he used to be a little talented, but he had no choice but to take the imperial examination for many years, but he still failed to pass the examination. If a scholar in this year is not admitted to the imperial examination, it means that it is not only as simple as being embarrassed, but also that he may not even be able to support himself.
Since the death of His Majesty the Emperor (Yang Guang), the world has been in turmoil, and there are people everywhere. The price of rice in Daxing City has soared, and ordinary people have vegetables on their faces, and it has suddenly become a very luxurious thing to eat.
Hou San has no power to restrain the chicken, except for studying, he can't make a living, and he can't let go of his son to run a cheap business. In the past, you could earn a few meals by copying and writing for the neighbors and enlightening children to study, but now that others can't eat, where can they have spare money to think about this. Hou San lost his income, so he had to starve to death slowly.
Hou Si understood his father's pride very well, and then after his father's first seven years passed, he immediately signed up for the army and was arranged to guard the city gate at the east gate.
Only the living have the leisure to talk about this!
Hou Si is a very realistic person, not like his dead ghost daddy who loves to daydream. The attraction of changing his fate and soaring is not as good as letting him eat well.
How good it is to guard the city gates, without having to go to battle, and having food, and occasionally getting some oil and water from passing vendors. Although it is a cheap karma, it is more nourishing than most people in this world.
A few days ago, when Prime Minister Wei Wensheng led his troops to the battle, those so-called "people" who were big officials and generals were all worried. Those who know are going to war, and those who don't know think that they are going to a collective funeral!
What an unlucky one!
Hou Si stood lazily at the gate of the city, checking the passers-by, still thinking about what to eat for dinner at home after work.
There are still two bags of millet in the cellar at home, and if you boil it, you can eat it for two months.
Recently, the price of this rice has become more expensive again, more than ten times that of the peaceful days! These unscrupulous profiteers and corrupt officials are really not afraid of stirring up a popular uprising, and they themselves have no good fruit to eat!
In this era of cannibalism, it is to force the common people to pick up knives and rebel!
But none of this has anything to do with him. A person who guards the city gate should honestly guard the city gate, and let those officials and lords worry about these national affairs!
"Hou Si, come over and help me see what is written on this piece of paper?"
It was Zhang Tou'er, Hou Si's immediate boss, who spoke. Zhang Tou'er's surname is Zhang, but his name is not called Tou'er, but a "bright" character. Because he likes to hear others call him "Tou'er", which makes him feel superior, Hou Si and they all call him Zhang Tou'er.
Zhang Touer was originally a prodigal, his family had money, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. However, the old man of his family really couldn't get used to his idleness every day, so he relied on his family relationship and the dredging silver taels, and insisted on making up for the lack of a city gate order for him. Big and small, he can be regarded as an official anyway.
Zhang Touer doesn't know how to learn, and he doesn't know a single big character, but he likes to read very much. Since he heard that Hou Si's father had taken the imperial examination, he took good care of Hou Si and took good care of him.
Now he found a piece of paper out of nowhere and asked Hou Si to go over and read it. This kind of trivial matter, Hou Si is embarrassed to refuse.
But just because I'm embarrassed to refuse doesn't mean he's happy to accept it. Hou Si's most annoying thing is that Zhang Tou'er is close to him, which has nothing to do with personal grievances, and Zhang Tou'er has nothing to do to be sorry for him.
This is actually the hostility of an ordinary person who can't even eat enough to the rich second generation who has a family and a job but lives a prodigal life, which is disgust from the bottom of his heart and a natural contempt.
But on the face, Hou Si still had to run over to help Zhang Tou'er. The county official might as well be in charge now, if he wants to eat under Zhang Touer, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.
Hou Si took the paper in Zhang Tou'er's hand and glanced at it casually, who knows, just one glance, his eyes will be straight!
Zhang Tou'er was very curious, so he kept asking: "Hou Si, what is written on this?"
Hou Si didn't answer, but asked Zhang Tou'er, "Boss, where did you get this piece of paper?"
"I picked it up when I came from the city just now, and there are a lot of them on the road! What, is there any problem?" Zhang Tou'er saw Hou Si's serious expression, and also realized that something was wrong, and began to get nervous, and took out the remaining papers in his arms and handed them to Hou Si.
Hou Si took the paper and looked at it, and the sweat on his head suddenly came out: "It's everywhere, this ......"
At this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and countless people rushed out of the city, crowding to get out of the city gate. Behind them, countless people dressed as passers-by jumped out of hiding, with strips of red cloth tied around their right arms and killing people everywhere and causing chaos.
"What's going on?" Zhang Tou'er was frightened by this sudden situation, and hurriedly reacted, just about to call his subordinates to maintain order, but his arm was grabbed by Hou Si.
"Boss, do you want to live?"
Hou Si's brainless question made Zhang Tou'er confused.
"What's wrong?" asked Zhang Tou'er.
Hou Si didn't answer, spread out the paper in his hand one by one, and read it to Zhang Tou'er.
"Poplar blossoms fall, plum blossoms bloom, peach and plum, there is a world ......"
"The plums are strong and the world, and the flowers of the Yang Lord have no roots......"
"The sun and the moon shine on the dragon boat, Huainan flows against the current, sweeps away the poplar flowers, and the Son of Heaven has no head......"
……
Zhang Touer's expression also began to be frightened, a few years ago, the "Tang Guogong Li Yuan's Conspiracy Case" made these nursery rhymes famous all over the world. Later, Yang Guang, who was still the crown prince at the time, personally led troops and wiped out the entire family of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, which made the rumors stop. How could such a damn thing be on the streets of the city at this time?
If it is combined with the fires and civil unrest that occurred in the city, even if Zhang Touer no longer learns and knows how to do it, he realizes that something is wrong.
At this time, the noise in the city gradually became clear.
"Li Gong issued an order, those who descend will not die! Those who descend will not die!"
Li ...... Li Gong? Mo is not Li ...... Secret?" The last two words, Zhang Tou'er spit out in a suppressed voice, obviously Zhang Tou'er is still a little taboo about such evil things as nursery rhymes.
"The sky of Daxing City is going to change!" Hou Si pulled Zhang Tou'er to the side, tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes, got a little blood from somewhere, dyed them red, took out one and tied it to his right arm, and handed the other to Zhang Tou'er.
"It's better to die than to live! This Daxing City, whether the surname is Yang or Li, what does it have to do with us? It is still important to save your life first!" Hou Si's thoughts are very practical and very simple.
Zhang Tou'er was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that the chaos was getting more and more serious, he was also a little panicked, so he took the strip of cloth and tied it to his arm.
At this time, a group of fierce gods and evil spirits jumped from the city, and the leader was full of beards, blood on his body, and he was dragging a Xuanhua axe with minced meat in his hand, and he didn't look like a good person. After they came to the city gate, they saw Zhang Touer and the two tied with red cloths, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and the bearded leader scratched his head: "On the east gate, it seems that there are no brothers arranged?"
Hou Si and Zhang Tou'er shouted in their hearts, "It's so dangerous!" This is one step away, and their heads are about to move!
Hou Si reacted quickly, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Tou'er to kneel down and report: "Heroes, villain Hou Si, this is Zhang Tou...... Zhang Liang: Our brothers have always admired Li Gong's prestige. Today, the heroes of Daxing, Hou Si Bucai, have taken this east gate for Li Gong!"
"Haha! There are two clever ones! Okay, you want to go up the mountain to join the gang, and I Lao Cheng agreed. From today on, you are my old Cheng's people, and if your brother comes again, you will report my old Cheng Cheng's name of biting gold!" The bearded man smiled happily, revealing a row of snowy teeth, which was so bright that it was terrifying.
"Yes, yes, yes! It turned out to be Cheng Ye! Hou Si understood!" Hou Si pulled Zhang Liang and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and after Cheng Biting Jin walked away, he got up from the ground drenched in sweat.
"Anyway, this fate is saved!" Hou Si's brain went through this series of high-speed operation, he was a little tired, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, and he had to rely on Zhang Liang next to him to help him stabilize his body.
"Lao Hou, this time I can rely on you to escape the catastrophe. I didn't say it, I'll mess with you in the future, and the position of this head will be given to you!" Zhang Liang's mind was still a little confused, and his chattering appearance made people cry and laugh.
Hou Si didn't bother with Zhang Liang's pig teammate at this time, but looked at Cheng Yanjin's body as he gradually moved away, and his eyes began to blur: "This is the big husband, the big hero!
Hou Si remembered what his dead ghost father Hou San said: People live for a lifetime, in addition to life, there are many things worth pursuing!
"I want to look like them and get ahead!"
Hou Si's eyes erupted with a glittering light, filled with raging fire......
……
On the sixth day of December in the second year of the Great Cause, Li Mi besieged the eastern capital with suspicious soldiers, which led Wei Wen to promote the tiger from the mountain, and then the troops went out of Daxing and captured the city in one fell swoop. So far, the Great Sui has no power to return to heaven, and the world is said to have responded to the nursery rhyme of "Li should be the son of heaven". For a time, the heroes were subordinate to the militia. Li Mi's name has always been known to the world. Li Mi's momentum was in full swing for a while.
