Chapter 19 When you meet a deceased person in Jinling City, you only make another country your hometown
And said that this Zhang Yiliang hired a carriage and left the city, through Hanzhong out of Zhuyang Pass, along Xiangyang, the White Emperor through Changban Slope to Wulin before changing to a sailboat along the Yangtze River to Jiankang City, with a child, the journey is very slow, and it has been more than ten days since arriving here. This is the capital of Soochow, and the victory of Jiangnan lies here.
The Langya Mountain that Zhang Yiliang wants to go to is in Chuzhou, which is more than 100 miles away from Jiankang City, the capital of Eastern Wu. When we arrived at Jiankang City, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. After a long journey, both of them were a little tired, so they decided to stay in Jiankang City temporarily. On the one hand, I want to explore the way to go to Langya Mountain, and on the other hand, I also want to take Xiao Nian to take a good look at Nian Wu's hometown.
Jiankang City is the capital of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and later the five Hu Chaohua, the scholars of the Sima clan and the Jin Dynasty traveled to the south in their clothes, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established here, and the Song Qi Liang Chen of the Southern Dynasty was four short dynasties, and there was the ancient capital of the six dynasties here. Later generations changed its name to Jinling City.
Seeing that many people in the market were putting Kong Ming lanterns, and there were warm lights in the sky, Zhang Yiliang remembered that tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhang Yiliang went abroad to do research, and had the experience of spending the Spring Festival in a foreign country, and loneliness was inevitable, but he could reunite with his family by phone, video, etc. Now no matter how much you miss it, it won't help, but fortunately, with a small thought, you won't seem so lonely.
The father and daughter held hands, and blended into the bustling crowd in the big city and east market of Jiankang City. Xiao Nian has been locked up in the valley of the mute village since he was a child, and has never seen such a beautiful scenery in the world, happily touching the lanterns hanging on the roadside, blowing the windmills on the roadside shelves, but holding Zhang Yiliang tightly with one hand.
Walking and walking, the two arrived at a large mansion on Dongshi Street, there were four people holding knives outside the gate, the door was lit with lights, and the word "Lu Fu" was written on the plaque. Zhang Yiliang pulled back Xiao Nian, who was about to run forward, and said to him: Xiao Nian, let's come here and ask, maybe this is your grandmother's house.
Xiao Nian naturally didn't know what her grandmother's house was, and stared at Zhang Yiliang with a puzzled face.
This may be the home of your mother's mother, Nian Wu, who once told me that she was a descendant of Lu Xun, a famous general of Eastern Wu, and was taken to Luoyang as a slave after the death of the country. Let's go here and ask. Zhang Yiliang said, picked up Xiao Nian, and went to ask the doorman.
May I ask if this is the mansion of Lu Xun and Lu Kang's family? Zhang Yiliang asked.
This is the mansion of the right Sima Luji, who are you?" The doorman with the knife in front of him asked.
That's right, I'm your uncle, I'm your father-in-law Lu Nianwu, I'm sorry for you to report it. Zhang Yiliang said happily as if he had met an old man.
You're looking for the wrong thing, there's no girl named Wu here. The guard said coldly.
Do you want to say that this right Sima Lu Ji is not the grandson of Lu Xun and the son of Lu Kang? Zhang Yiliang asked rhetorically.
What's the matter, Lu Mansion has never appeared called Lu Nianwu, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. The guard said again.
After the battle of Jin and Wu, Nian Wu's father was killed by the Jin army, and Nian Wu was also exiled to Luoyang, and later exiled to Shuzhong, and we were together...... Zhang Yiliang explained.
Where are you talking about Miss Lu? The guard finally loosened.
Nian Wu is dead. This is my daughter with Nian Wu. Zhang Yiliang pointed at Xiao Nian and explained to the guard.
Wait here. The man turned and went into the inner hall to report it. Zhang Yiliang was suddenly excited in his heart.
Not long after, the guard came out with a family member, and the family leader ushered Zhang Yiliang into the lobby, where two men in their forties were already sitting upright. Zhang Yiliang entered the hall, stood in front of the two people, put down the little thought in his arms, bowed, and said:
In the next Zhang Yiliang, he is the husband of Miss Lu Nianwu, I don't know what the two seniors call him?
The two of them didn't speak, they looked at Zhang Yiliang carefully for a long time, and then when they saw Xiao Nian, they all showed compassion, one of them beckoned to Xiao Nian and asked Xiao Nian to come over, but Xiao Nian hid behind Yiliang in fear.
Xiao Nian, let my grandfather take a look. Zhang Yiliang pushed Xiao Nian over.
The old man is Lu Yun, this is my brother Lu Ji, and we are both Nian Wu's uncles. The younger man next to him said.
The slightly older Lu Ji picked up Xiao Nian, looked at it, felt a lot more relieved in his heart, smiled on his face, and said: What is your name?
Her name is Zhang Xiaonian, and she doesn't speak from the novel. Zhang Yiliang said.
That Lu Ji was startled at first, then stroked Xiao Nian's head in distress, and said: More than ten years ago, my brother Lu Jing led the Wu army to resist the Jin army with his father Lu Kang, and my father died in battle, and my brother continued to fight with the Jin army on behalf of my father. The Jin soldiers kidnapped my brother's family and wanted to blackmail my brother into surrendering. How can my brother be loyal to the martyrs, and he will not surrender until death, and then I heard that the whole family is suffering in Luoyang, it is really God has eyes, God has eyes...... My brother Lu Jing still has descendants......
Zhang Yiliang wanted to tell them that the child was not his own, but he didn't want the comfort they had just received to be shattered like this, so he had to endure it and change the topic: Nian Wu told me that she also has a sister named Lu Siwu, I wonder if the uncles have any news of Siwu?
Never known. When Lu Yun heard this, he left the back of the chair as if he had obtained a treasure, leaned over and said: More than ten years ago, after my father died in battle, my brother Lu Jing decided to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, and took our brothers home to say goodbye to their families. He knew that Wu was about to die, so he changed the names of his two five or six-year-old daughters to Wu and Wu. My brother was killed in battle, and we were all wounded in the battle, and later I heard that my family was captured by the Jin soldiers, and we all suffered.
Nian Wu told me that my sister Si Wu was sent by her father to Wuyi Mountain to practice martial arts...... Zhang Yiliang explained.
Lu Yun said: If this is the case, my brother can really keep it for himself, and I will send someone to Wuyi Mountain to find it and find Siwu back.
No, no! Lu Ji thought for a while and said: "At present, the court is in chaos, and we and other ministers who have lost the country are very easily implicated, so we can send someone to find it first, and if Siwu is well, she will be left to her, and if she is not good, she will be brought back."
Uncle wise! Zhang Yiliang felt that this Lu Ji was quite smart, so he said: If the imperial court is not in chaos, I advise the two uncles to stay away from the imperial court as soon as possible and return to the rivers and lakes.
Lu Yun sighed and said: Our Lu family is the minister of Eastern Wu, and when Eastern Wu is destroyed, we are all ready to die for the country. But I never thought that the Sima clan ignored the past suspicions and gave us some false positions to the remnants of Eastern Wu to save the face of the scholars......
Lu Ji's official position was higher, and when he heard Zhang Yiliang say this, he was also curious, so he asked: How did you know that the imperial court was going to be in chaos?
Zhang Hua's nephew, who was too often in Xia Nai, often listened to my uncle's analysis of the government, so he learned about it. Zhang Yiliang said.
Oh, it turned out to be Taichang-sama's nephew. When Lu Ji heard this, he became extremely enthusiastic, and ordered the people below: Quick, take a seat! Give Zhang Gongzi some wine and meat, my good granddaughter should be hungry, go and have some snacks.
Zhang Yiliang sat down and continued: Uncle, listen to me, if the first two things are unfortunately said, then uncle must listen to me, stay away from the government, and stay away from the Sima family. First, Emperor Wu Sima Yan will die on May 16 this year, and Yang Jun will become the most powerful minister in the court. Second, Yang Jun will be killed by Sima Wei, the king of Chu, in Beijing in March next year, and then Empress Jia Nanfeng interfered in politics, triggering the Rebellion of the Eight Kings...... If these two things come true, please keep the two uncles away from the court, otherwise they will be implicated in the civil strife......
Lu Ji asked: Where did this come from? Did your uncle ever know? Did he ever want to stay away from the imperial court?
This is a heavenly opportunity, my uncle is foolish, I am afraid that he will not retreat bravely, if he does not retreat, he will also die in the rebellion of the eight kings. Zhang Yiliang said.
You're a big rebel. Lu Ji suddenly started a fire and scolded: "Huangkou Xiao'er, how can you guess the government in vain, your uncle doesn't care about you? If you talk wildly, the old man will let you taste my Lu family's family law."
As soon as Lu Ji became angry, Xiao Nian trembled, broke free from the Lu Ji, threw himself into Zhang Yiliang's arms, and didn't dare to look at the Lu Ji again.
Let someone arrange a room for you, and go to bed early! Lu Ji snorted, flicked his sleeves and left.
Don't bother with the uncles, I just came to visit the uncles on behalf of Nian Wu. I still have friends in Jiankang City, so I'm leaving. Zhang Yiliang saluted again and said goodbye to Nalu Mansion. He thought to himself: He was well-intentioned and persuasive, but he was sprayed wildly, can't the trajectory of history be changed, is history just a program written to death?
No, by no means. Zhang Yiliang thought about it again: Change the role and think about it, if he is Lu Ji and is his own official, suddenly someone comes out and says that you are about to retire, or you will be killed...... Isn't it also inexplicable? What people can't let go of is vested interests. This will doom them to be wiped out in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the next few years......
He can't change these big names in Danqing, he can change all living beings, don't try to change this group of pedantic court people, to change the fate of all living beings......
Just as he was thinking, a horse flashed in front of him, led by a man with a sword on his back. Zhang Yiliang looked at the back, it was Xiao Fang in the Langya Double Eagle Sword. He immediately picked up Xiao Nian and shouted at Xiao Fang while chasing: Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang......
This is the downtown area, it is still a big night, Xiao Fang can only lead the horse through the street, there are too many people, he can't hear Zhang Yiliang calling him. After walking for a long time, Zhang Yiliang finally caught up with him and pulled him back from behind. That Xiao Fang thought it was a sneak attack, and turned around to grab a claw, but fortunately he saw a little girl, so he let go.
Why are you here?," Xiao Fang asked.
I'm here for you. Zhang Yiliang said: Xiao Ke is dead, I want to honor her parents for her.
We, the Langya Sect, will take care of it, and we don't need you to be merciful. Xiao Fangdao.
Did you already know that Xiao Ke was dead? Zhang Yiliang asked him.
It's not all because of you, I went to Bashu with my sister to rescue the famous scholar, and then I received a new mission to assassinate the Yunnan thief. But you secretly brought my junior sister into the tiger's den in Longtan. Xiao Fang continued to lead the horse forward.
Don't you think we should find a place to have some hot wine and talk? Zhang Yiliang said.
My junior sister has already paid you back with her life, and no one owes anyone...... Xiao Fang said.
You're so cold-blooded. I just want to go to Langya Mountain, just want to join your Langya Sect, can't I?
You are not qualified, you want to join the Langya Sect, you can't. It's better to be your merry son!" Xiao Fang said.
Xiao Ke discovered the shocking secret, and before she died, she told me that I must report to the sect master in person. Zhang Yiliang was in a hurry and deceived Xiao Fangdao.
What secret?" Xiao Fang stopped and asked.
The shocking secret is related to the life and death of the Central Plains. Zhang Yiliang was overjoyed, feeling that he had finally restrained this very generous person.
Tell me, I'll report back to the sect master.
Don't think about it, Xiao Ke said, you must report to the sect master in person.
You are very cunning, I don't believe you.
Then let's find a tavern and chat while drinking, I will reveal a little bit to you, and you will understand why Xiao Ke must report to the sect master in person.
Xiao Fang was suspicious, agreed to Zhang Yiliang's request, and the three of them entered a tavern, lit the stove to keep warm, and began to drink.
Did you really see my junior sister fall off the cliff and die?" Xiao Fang took a sip of hot wine and asked a little sadly.
I also heard that that day we went deep into the royal city of the Di tribe and killed Tian San at night, which alarmed the Di people, and Xiao Ke escaped to cover me and block the enemy......
What secrets did my junior sister hear? Xiao Fang is a messenger, and he is used to inquiring about news, so he will inevitably return to his profession in three sentences.
Zhang Yiliang approached his ear and whispered: Li Te, who is of the Di clan, is stepping up to build weapons and collect the displaced people, and he is going to do something...... Then he straightened up and said, "That's all I can tell you."
I thought that the Hu people of the Di tribe lured the scum of the rivers and lakes into Shu only to avenge the raid on the Mingshi Academy, but I didn't want to...... Xiao Fang said in astonishment.
Do you say that this matter has to be reported to the sect master in person? Zhang Yiliang was secretly overjoyed and asked.
That's nature. Xiao Fang finally compromised and said: To bring people into Langya, you need to report to the sect first, I will go back and report, and send someone to pick up Zhang Gongzi tomorrow.
Well, I'll stay in the inn next to this tavern. Zhang Yiliang said.
In this Jiankang City, we can find you in the cracks in the ground. Xiao Fangdao: The tavern where you are drinking, and the inn where you live, are all owned by our Langya Sect.
I'll go. Zhang Yiliang finally saw what the first case in the rivers and lakes was.
After the child, it is Chinese New Year's Eve. The ancient capital of Wu was already dark, and it was snowing outside the window. Zhang Yiliang looked at the sleeping Xiao Nian, thinking of his parents and his students...... On this day, I was lucky, I saw Nian Wu's hometown, met an old man, the New Year had arrived, and I had to treat him as my hometown.
