Chapter 66: Zhao Chengzong
At this time, the two have walked to the Songshan Pass, the mountain road is narrow, the white horse is very fierce, the people have dodged, and for a while people shouted that the horse neighed into a mess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu were walking side by side, they were already very nervous, but the crazy white horse rushed directly towards the two, and there was a cliff on one side of the mountain road, and a shallow ditch on the other side. Seeing that the situation was not right, the two jujube red horses immediately galloped wildly, and one of them might as well fall off the horse. Duan Xiliu's martial arts were strong, his body floated, and he gently fell to the side of the mountain road. Xiao Han was a little embarrassed, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
When it was too late, the white horse raised its four hooves high and stepped down on the top of Xiao Han's head. Xiao Han was shocked, and a lazy donkey rolled to the side of the road. Duan Xiliu was a little on tiptoe, his body was bent, and as soon as he scooped his left hand, he dragged him up, looked at Xiao Han with a pale face and said, "Are you okay?" Xiao Han reluctantly smiled: "This head of the family is blessed with a great life and great creation, how can anything happen?" Duan Xiliu was used to saying big things, smiled slightly, and ignored it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Han screamed strangely, and suddenly pounced on the white horse's buttocks, and at the same time stretched his palms forward, as if he wanted to touch the white horse's buttocks. Duan Xiliu turned around, followed his feet a little, and pounced on the white horse. The people stood by the roadside and watched, and they were in a mess.
But it turned out that the white horse did not step on Xiao Han, and he was crazy, and his front hooves were actually raised high, turning the white-clothed boy on the horse upside down. Xiao Han stood behind the white horse and immediately rushed to save people. Duan Xiliu also rushed up, struck out with one palm, and hit the white horse's buttocks, the white horse couldn't bear the pain, neighed wildly, and chased the two jujube red horses and galloped away.
Xiao Han put out his palms together, and held the boy up. Immediately hugged his hands behind his back and held the boy firmly in his arms, because the inertia was too great, his body was crooked, and he almost fell. The boy was so frightened that his face was pale, his limbs were stiff, and he was clung to him like that. Xiao Han stumbled, and the son's involuntary body moved, and the faces of the two immediately came together, and there was an intimate contact.
Duan Xiliu pulled his left hand, Xiao Han immediately stabilized his figure, pushed his hands with both hands, pushed the boy away, stood up and said, "Childe be careful." The white-faced boy shook his body a few times, barely stood firmly, grabbed a small tree on the side of the road, gasped, his face turned from white to gray, and then to red, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he arched his hand to the two: "Thank you two strong men for saving your life, and I am grateful." Then he bowed down deeply.
Xiao Han hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his hand and said, "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about your teeth, and the son is fine." Duan Xiliu glanced at Xiao Han dissatisfied, and then said: "It is the proper duty of the people of the rivers and lakes to help the poor, and the son does not have to worry about it." β
Passers-by and pedestrians saw that they were okay and dispersed. The white-shirted man's complexion gradually returned to normal, his long body was jade, his face was soft, his eyes were as bright as morning stars, and he smiled and said: "In Xia Zhao Chengzong, dare to ask the names of the two strong men?" The two reported their names one after another, and the boy read silently twice, and said: "It turned out that the two knights of the Tianshan faction and the Wudang faction helped out, and I am grateful." The two waved their hands and pushed, and the son saw that he was open-minded, and when he said words of gratitude, he seemed to be outspoken, so he asked if he could go with the two. When the two saw that he was elegant, they naturally obeyed.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty had only been established for thirteen days, and everything was as Xiao Han said to Zhang Quanyue at that time. On the first day of the first month of the new year, the little emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun, went to the court to accept the congratulations of the monarchs and ministers, and when he was celebrating, he suddenly received an urgent report from the border pass, saying that the Northern Han Dynasty united with the Great Liao to attack the border of Zhenzhou and Dingzhou. The monarch and the ministers were shocked, and when the prime minister Fan Zhen and Wang Pu sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead the troops in front of the palace. The army set out on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and stopped at Chenqiaoyi not far from the east gate of Tokyo. That night, the soldiers mutinied, and Zhao Kuangyin was elected emperor, and the imperial robe was imposed on Zhao's body, which was known as the "Chen Qiao Mutiny." On the same day, the army no longer marched north but returned to Tokyo, and most of the ministers except for the prime minister were bought by the Zhao family, except for the command of Ma Bujun, Han Tong was killed because of resistance, and there was no voice of opposition, and the Zhao family successfully ascended the throne. The name of the Great Song Dynasty was established, and the yuan was changed to "Jianlong".
Because it is the country that seized the orphans and widows, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help it, plus this person has always been benevolent, and he has taken care of the descendants of the Chai family. However, the country was taken away, although she was a woman, she could not participate in politics, and the pain in her heart can be imagined.
When Xiao Han saw her at that time, he felt that this woman looked cold and glamorous, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which was comparable to her master Lan Aoshuang. Now that I think about it, although all the soldiers respect him, Chai Xinyue is still guilty, depressed, and there is no trace of a smile on his face, which looks heart-wrenching.
There have been many rebellions in history, and every rebellion is earth-shattering, and the people are not able to make a living. The change of dynasty is very calm, everything is normal in Tokyo Fang City, the activities of the people and merchants are still as usual, the small people only heard that Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor the next day, changed Zhou to Song, and there are more soldiers patrolling the streets on the street, and there is no other abnormality. This coup d'Γ©tat can be called the most perfect coup d'Γ©tat in history, and the regime change is almost bloodless, without disturbance with the people, and the benefits are maximized.
Now the Great Song Dynasty has been established for thirteen days, and the people are all the same, continuing to live an ordinary life, especially when I heard that the Songshan Shaolin Temple will hold a martial arts conference on the second day of February, when the ordinary people can no longer go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, so the Buddha in the first month has become a scene in Dengfeng County.
Shaolin Temple is the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism, which naturally attracts believers to come, so the mountain road is full of people. The son's servant then caught up, and naturally someone went to chase the out-of-control white horse. The three of them walked up the hill, talking as they went, they were all young people, and they became acquainted with each other after a while.
Zhao Chengzong talks elegantly, Duan Xiliu speaks witty, Xiao Han knows a lot of things, and the three complement each other, talking and laughing all the way. At this time, it is a new day of heavy snow, and the mountains are snow-white, overgrown with trees, and the scenery is unique. The three of them were amazed and happy, and their feet were naturally light, and they came to the mountainside after a while.
There is a pavilion built on top of a large open space on the mountainside for pedestrians to rest, and at this time there are already many men and women resting in it, talking and laughing and laughing. At this time, the defense of men and women was not as strict as in later generations, and during the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the constraints between men and women were very loose, and they were not as impersonal as they were watched on TV in later generations. In fact, the concept of incompatibility between men and women was gradually accepted and strictly implemented by the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty when Cheng Zhu Lixue was rising. Ironically, Zhu Xi's generation of Confucians, who advocated "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires", but his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law really responded to the example of saying one thing and doing another.
At this time, the good men and women in the pavilion had rested enough, and they got up with a smile and continued to go up the mountain, just to make room for it. The three of them sat side by side on the stone platform in the corner of the pavilion, Zhao Chengzong wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "The two eldest brothers must have gone to Shaolin to visit Master Xingkong, right?"
Duan Xiliuqi said: "Do you also know Master Xingkong?" Zhao Chengzong said with a smile: "Master Xingkong is a friend of my father, and I will come to visit my father on behalf of my father every New Year's Day." It's just that there are trivial matters at home this year, and they have been delayed so far. Xiao Han always felt as if he had seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. Hearing this, his heart moved, and he said: "The son has a noble face, he must not be an ordinary family, and if it is expected to be good, he must be a high-ranking official and a rich family." β
Zhao Chengzong was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao thinks highly of the younger brother, the younger brother is just an ordinary person's child, and his father is just doing a little business in Tokyo to make ends meet." Duan Xiliu nodded and said: "Brother Zhao is very good, he knows Gao Bo, he will definitely go to high school in the future, and he can show his ambitions." β
Zhao Chengzong was nodded by him and said happily: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, and he must not spend this life in mediocrity." When Xiao Han saw him talking about his ambitions, his face suddenly turned red, and his doubts were even worse, he always felt that he had seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it somewhere in his mind.
Xiao Han frowned and said: "Brother Zhao is young, it is really admirable to have such ambitions, but if it is seven points today, the Great Song Dynasty is newly established, surrounded by all countries, and he is still flawless to take care of himself, ruling the world with literature, and fighting in troubled times, brother white-clothed scholar, dare to ask what countermeasures can show his ambitions in his chest?" This was very rude, Duan Xiliu glanced at him dissatisfied, Xiao Han pretended not to see it, just stared at Zhao Chengzong.
Zhao Chengzong's face changed, and then he smiled, obviously treating the two of them as rough men in the rivers and lakes, and didn't take his words to heart, looking at the snow-covered green mountains and pines outside the pavilion and said: "Although my Great Song Dynasty is a new one, there are rare heroes and loyal military generals in a hundred years. The clowns around the erratic will be wiped out one by one, the world will be unified sooner or later, although the younger brother is young, but he was born in a prosperous age, as long as he is admitted to the Jinshi, there will be a place for use. β
Duan Xiliu nodded again and again, and praised: "Brother Zhao is so ambitious, he will be able to get what he wants." Xiao Han was noncommittal, looking at the endless stream of people on the mountain road and said: "It's easier said than done, can I ask Brother Zhao a few questions?" Zhao Chengzong smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, please speak." β
Duan Xiliu shook his head slightly, signaling Xiao Han not to say unpleasant things. Xiao Han pretended not to know, and said to himself: "The world is divided, dare to ask Brother Zhao how to unify?" This topic is too big, Zhao Chengzong was a little embarrassed for a while, and thought for a moment and said: "The official family is very talented, and it will sweep away the countries one by one, it just takes some time." β
