7. The severed head dragon on the altar
"Isn't that true of all sutra stories? Brother-in-law, if there is a cause, there is an effect, and the retribution is unpleasant, and it cannot be explained. Yunhe was a little strange, but he was a little worried and scared when he saw his brother-in-law's expression.
She didn't know that Gao Yue actually heard the story of the dragon suo of Long Live Pool in Shudu, and thought of another living person.
At this time, Gao Yue's thoughts were even more churning, and he couldn't help but split his head and cover his face and confided in Yunhe: "The colorful phoenix in Tongzhong, the magpie in the tree of the imperial city, soaring among the flowers, bearing the rain and dew on the top, and supporting the high branches below, never forget to comb their delicate and beautiful feathers, say two words that are not painful, win some good reputation, bewitch some descendants, draw fans and enter the poem, and slowly climb the vermilion." Long live the dragon in the pool, obviously there is no heavenly talisman in his hand, but he is willing to risk the end of the head and corpse of the sword, and rain on the people of the world, this kind of Promethean hero, is it only available abroad? ”
Yun He was surprised, "Pu, Pu? ”
Gao Yue was excited, and his emotions became more and more intense, and he didn't care about the fact that he actually said a "fire thief hero Prometheus" in front of Yunhe just now, he only remembered that later generations recited the colorful phoenix in Tongzhong, "It is the year of Jiangnan drought, and the people of Quzhou cannibalize people", but he didn't remember that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty continued to withdraw a lot of wealth from the household money to take care of these small and delicate Tongzhong phoenixes, "Hanlin Academy...... Each day to buy miscellaneous money of 100 wen, with the household to see the money to charge. A total of four stones of rice and five stones of wheat per month, so that Si Nong will supply", isn't this money and grain collected from Quzhou and other counties in the world?
Later generations only recited the colorful phoenix in Tongzhong, "Xuancheng is too shou to know and know, a blanket, a thousand taels of silk." The earth does not know that the cold people should be warm, and they should take away people's clothes for lichens", but they did not know that "when the bachelor first entered the hospital, he was given thirty horses of silk and a pair of clothes." The degree is given to four people every month, and each person is given 3,500 money. Every year, 30 horses of spring clothes, 30 horses of summer clothes, 7 horses of cotton, and 30 horses of cold food and festival materials are given", who took these brocades and silks from?
Later generations only know that they can recite the colorful phoenix in Tongzhong, "Sang Hong sheep, dead for a long time, not only in the Han Dynasty and today", and how do they know that the Han Wu's heroic hegemony is only obtained by the financial support of Sang Hong Yang, without the implementation of Sang Hong Yang's calculations, leveling, average loss, salt and iron official camps, wine, and Sang Hong Yang in the border area of the 600,000-person scale of Tuntian Frontier, where did the martyrdom of the Han Wu come from? Tongzhong Wucaifeng only knows that "salt merchants are rich, more gold silk, and do not eat field farmers and mulberry achievements", and how do you know that it is precisely by relying on the government and salt merchants in charge of the "Longsuo" in the capital that the price of salt can be spread to the heads of the whole country in the form of indirect taxes (you can evade the Ding tax and evade the field tax, but you can never not eat salt, and the salt tax is equivalent to handing over to the state when you consume, all of which are included in the price), so that the Tang Dynasty survived the fatal crisis after the Anshi Rebellion.
However, when the "dragons" like Sang Hongyang fed the court, the army, and the bureaucracy, they were carefully placed on the charge of "competing with the people" and went to the dragon altar and cut off their heads, their tears and blood flowed, nourishing the bright and beautiful flowers, and then became the nest of Tongzhong Phoenix, so that they continued to chirp and sing beautiful notes, as if the flowers were all due to them, because the dragons were already flesh and bones.
In Gao Yue's heart, what should he do and how to do it in the future, after listening to Yunhe's story, he slowly began to become clear, "There is nothing to do, nothing can be done, no capital is big or small, I sent God to this era, I should be here to undertake some missions, I think it is right, it should be guarded!" Sang Hong Yang such a dragon, since the age of thirteen in politics, until he was killed, to help the Han for more than 60 years, I am not afraid of being a dragon, not afraid of climbing the dragon altar, right and wrong do not need to think much, if I Gao Yue can still leave a name in the long river of history that has changed since then, I would rather be 'Sang Hong Yang of the Tang Dynasty', rather than be a Tongzhong Feng who has a good reputation through the ages. ”
Under the flower corridor, Yun He, who was holding a green feather fan, glanced at his brother-in-law, although she was only fifteen years old, and her brother-in-law didn't understand some of the words very well, but she also knew that her brother-in-law seemed to be making some life choices, and he didn't want to be a colorful phoenix in Tongzhong for others to enjoy, so he laughed out loud and said to him: "My brother-in-law likes the dragon in the long live pool, so it's good, but I have to learn the ability to see the wind and clouds and watch the rain when it comes. ”
When Gao Yue said this, his mood changed, he was stunned, and he laughed.
Then Gao Yue and his sister-in-law both laughed heartily, and although Yunhe covered his mouth with a green feather fan, he also leaned forward and closed.
"Who is Gao Lang looking for Fei Niang? It's rare for a girl to be so happy. "The Lu family is a little confused over there.
But then Yun He was angry again, and knocked Gao Yuexia's arm with a green feather fan, "Brother-in-law, I should talk about the problems in your compilation this time, there are some places where I don't know how angry I look at Li Niang!" No wonder some people in Beijing say that what you wrote is a mouth pepper, which is the most poisonous. ”
"This, please also ask Yunhe to teach." Gao Yue faintly found a breakthrough from his sister-in-law's words.
"My brother-in-law is divided again, just call me Niang."
Ten days later, Li Sheng, Quhuan's camp army from the capital of Shu back to Beijing, Gao Yue of course among them, before leaving the "aunt" Lu Shi was still reluctant to him, asked the east and the west, said that Gao Lang in the capital to my family Li Niang found who, Gao Yue was a little embarrassed, only to remember that day under the flower corridor and Yun He talked for a long time, but forgot the topic, can only prevaricate two sentences, said aunt do not worry, the third year of high school back to Beijing has its own know.
Looking at the winter scenery under the Huanhua River, and looking at the misty long live pool at the north gate of the Shaocheng of Shudu, where the army with the flag is waving, with the low sound of the Hu Ji gradually moving away, the cloud that stands on the pavilion quietly put down the bead curtain, sits in front of the desk, and plays the instrument horizontally on the case, and its name is also called "Yunhe"
"Neither the qin nor the zheng......" looked at "Yunhe", Yunhe muttered, as if laughing at himself, and then reached out his slender fingers and caressed them, sonorously several times, as if broken......
"Obliquely hugging the clouds and seeing the moon in the depths, the hazy trees are faintly sunny."
When Gao Yue accompanied the camp to Lutoushu, an accident happened—Zhang Yansheng, the new envoy of the Xichuan Festival, suddenly sent someone to catch up with the army on a fast horse, and asked all the soldiers in the camp to stop.
Li Sheng strangled his mount in confusion, but the person who came directly pointed to the chariot behind the king of Hechuan County, and asked, "The king of Hechuan County should not take the official prostitutes in the town of Xichuan Festival!" ”
"You!" Even Li Sheng's good temper was immediately embarrassed and angry.
Because sitting in the cart was none other than the blind pipa prostitute Gao Liuliu, whom he had loved at the banquet before.
Li Sheng wanted to bring a little back to Beijing and be his concubine, not to mention that Yin Cuikuan, the capital of Shu, had also agreed, it stands to reason that the prostitutes in Shu are the same as the prostitutes in Chang'an, and they are all under the control of the local government Yin. So Li Sheng didn't think too much about it at the time, but he didn't expect Zhang Yansheng to send someone to chase after Lutoushu to find trouble for himself.
